Cherry Blossoms in Nagano: Day Trip to Takato Joshi Park from Nagoya

1 day
Full Day
About this activity
Meet with your tour conductor at Nagoya station, and board the bus that takes you directly to Takato Joshi Park. It will be a 3,5-hour long, but comfortable ride with a break on the way. At the park, you will have about 3 hours to freely wander around.
If your priority is cherry blossoms viewing, be ready for the amazing scenery of more than 1500 trees in bloom. The Kohigan species of cherry tree (Prunus subhirtella) only grows in this park, and its peculiarities are an early blooming season, slightly smaller petals and a distinctive deep, reddish pink color.
If you get tired of the cherry blossoms, the park ticket also includes access to the Ejima Kakomi-yashiki (Ejima Enclosed Residence), where Lady Ejima was exiled after the infamous Ejima-Ikushima court affair, and to the historical Shintoku-kan, a school for samurai children founded in 1860 by feudal lord Naitou Yorinao. For an additional fee, you can also visit the Ina City Takatomachi History Museum.
Also, if you want to experience the cherry blossoms in a truly Japanese fashion, a lunch bento box is also available if ordered at least 8 days in advance, for an additional fee (JPY 1,000 tax included). Please pay the lunch box fee to a tour conductor in cash on the tour day.
After 3 hours, it’s time to pack up your belongings and head back to the bus, and after a brief shopping stop in the town of Komagane (for approx. 20 min), your tour ends back in Nagoya at around 18.40.
