Speaking of the cherry blossom festival at KyukaPark, there is a "moat tour" that can only be enjoyed at castle ruins.

You can enjoy elegant cherry blossom viewing on a boat for about 15 minutes. Viewing the cherry blossoms from a different angle than on the ground is also special♪ This kind of cherry blossom viewing from a boat is only possible at KyukaPark.

When the boat passes under the bridge, if you don't bend down, you will hit the bridge, so please follow the boatman's instructions and enjoy the moat tour🌸

*The price is 800 yen for adults (junior high school students and above). Children (elementary school age and younger, must be accompanied by a guardian) 200 yen.
