Nijo Castle’s annual cherry blossom festival and evening illumination will be held from the 8th of March to 7th of April.
The castle will close at 5pm, and then re-open from 6pm to 10pm, with last entry at 9pm.
During this time, over 300 cherry trees, and 90 plum trees, are expected to be in blossom and will be illuminated along with the castle.
Tickets range from ¥2,000 to ¥2,800 depending on the day. Tickets purchased at the door have an additional fee, and may sell out, so we recommend buying online in advance to avoid disappointment.
