anthill park

Ichinoseki City

Southern Iwate

Antzuka Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot located halfway up Mt. Murone. There are 200 cherry trees in the park, which bloom from late April to early May, and the ``Antizuka Park Cherry Blossom Festival'' is held, as well as other events, so it is crowded with many tourists. It is also the entrance to the Mt. Murone mountain trail, and many climbers begin their climb from the park to the summit of Mt. Murone.
