Kajo Park covers the site of the former Yamagata Castle and has a beautiful variety of sakura(Cherry blossoms). Take a walk around the castle moat enclosed in sakura, and watch how the trees brush the surface, painting the water with swirls of pink petals. At night, the illuminated park castes a magical light on the flowers.
