Isshingyo Park Cherry Blossoms 一心行公園の大桜

Isshingyo Park in Minami-Aso, Kumamoto , is one of the top places in the country to view cherry blossom in the spring. If you find yourself in Kyushu during March, you have to try and catch the blossoms.

You can reach Isshingyo Park by car, or by buses from Kumamoto City followed by a 15-minute walk to the park.

The drive takes about one hour from downtown Kumamoto, and free parking is available. However, traffic is heavy during sakura season, when public transport is recommended.

If traveling by bus, the nearest bus stop is Nakamatsu-ekimae bus stop.

The park is home to one famous cherry tree. It's an absolute giant, measuring over 14 meters tall, and said to be over 400 years old.

Spring is one of the best times to be in Japan when the nationwide cherry blossom celebrations see the country erupt with parties and joy as the sakura trees burst into bloom. Come with friends, family, or anyone and head to the park to enjoy some quality time outside enjoying food and drinks.
