This photo captures the feeling of "rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms, layered colors of spring" at Chidorigafuchi.

This photo captures the view of Chidorigafuchi stretching out in the background, with rapeseed flowers in the foreground. The combination of yellow and pink felt so spring-like that I couldn't help but stop and admire it.The cherry blossoms at Chidorigafuchi possess a serene beauty that makes you want to visit every year. The view of Somei-Yoshino cherry trees blooming along the moat for about 700 meters is truly a spring tradition. Popular photo spots include shots utilizing the boats, cherry blossoms, and the tranquil waterside, as well as the downhill view from the slope. The atmosphere changes with the light, so enjoying different expressions depending on the time of day is also part of its charm.
