1. Myokenyama Park (Naruto City)
Myokenzan Park is a park located on a 60-meter-high mountain in the western part of Naruto City. It is known as a famous cherry blossom spot, and when in full bloom the entire mountain is dyed pink. Approximately 500 trees, including Somei-Yoshino, Hachisuka-zakura, and Yama-zakura, are planted in the park. The park is also lit up at night, so you can enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms at night. The mountain road is narrow, so if you are driving a large vehicle, please be careful of oncoming vehicles. The castle-like building in the park, called "Tree de Naruto," is a popular photo spot with beautiful cherry blossoms and a castle.
*Illumination period: Late March to late April (The period may change depending on the cherry blossom conditions.)

4. Naruto City German House (Naruto City)
In Bando, Taima-cho, Naruto City, there was the Bando POW Camp, where German prisoners of war were held during World War I. The Bando POW Camp was praised as a model camp unlike any other in the world due to its humane management policy. At the Naruto City German House, stories of the interactions between German soldiers and local residents at the time are told and many valuable materials from that time are on display.
In the "Ninth Theater," life-sized figures of German soldiers perform music. Bando POW Camp is also known as the site of the Asian premiere of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9."
You can see cherry blossoms around the Beethoven statue near the Naruto City German House.
There is also a roadside station called "Daikyu no Sato" on the premises, where you can have a picnic and enjoy gelato and light meals made with local products.
