Asahigagaoka Park was the site of Kashima Castle, and in 1968 the cherry blossom trees were built on the road of the samurai residence. This cherry blossom trees are now called “Flower Tunnel”, and beautiful cherry blossoms follow the 300m road to the park. It is one of the best cherry blossoms in the city and many tourists visit every year.
