out of my expectations
This is such a beautiful place
I am so lucky to have the weather like this
Very cold and wet, so many cloud flowing between the mountains gaps.
The water is as peaceful as a baby sleeping.
Perfect timing for the perfect place.
Here not to review about the park but wanted to comment on the route itself.
Very scenic route of the Miboro Lake, would recommend this route when heading towards Shirakawa-Go. Might take a little longer as it is not a highway and there is many twist and bends in this journey but extremely worth if you are driving yourself there. There are quite a few parking spots on the way to allow people to stop and take photos. Snow tires are recommended if driving in the winter.
Leads directly to Shirakawa-Go Heritage Spot Parking lot, very seamless route. Super recommended over the highway if anybody is having a dilemma.
This is a scenic park with beautiful panoramic views of the Miboroko Lake and the surrounding mountains. What is even more special about this park is that there are 2 cherry trees that are 500 years old. These trees were transported from the grounds of Shorenji temple and Korinji temple. and transplanted in the Shogawazakura park when the construction of Miboro dam threatened their existence.
In Cherry Blossom season, it's soectacular. White with some pink cherry blossoms. It's beautiful. It's about 30mins from Shirikawago Village, so it's worth doing the stop along the way
The best time to visit Shokawasakura Park is in early to mid-April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, creating a breathtaking display of pink flowers.
Yes, the park is located near several other attractions, including the Miboro Dam and the Miboro Lake, where visitors can enjoy boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
Yes, visitors can enjoy picnicking in the park, especially during cherry blossom season when many people gather to appreciate the flowers and have outdoor meals under the blooming trees.
