Omonomi Park

Oshu City

Southern Iwate

This is the castle ruins of the lord of Maezawa Castle, and the row of approximately 200 cherry trees that are over 60 years old has become a famous spot representing the southern part of the prefecture. Additionally, there are many large trees along the 800m stretch of road that climbs from the bottom of the park to the entrance, making it feel like a tunnel of cherry blossoms. From mid-April to early May, the park will be illuminated with 250 paper lanterns and lighting.
