Kaikoen

Kaikoen

Kaikoen is the site of Komoro castle, of which Hidehisa Sengoku was the lord. It is said that the lyrics of the song "I look up as I walk" (also known as "Sukiyaki"), are based on the sad memories of Rokusuke Ei in Kaikoen when he was evacuated to Komoro during wartime.
Approximately 500 cherry blossom trees of the "Someiyoshino" variety are in full bloom in the spacious area of Kaikoen. Among these, the Komoro Yaebenishidare, which originally came from Komoro, and gradually changes color from deep red to a paler hue, is a beautiful and unusual cherry blossom. You can also enjoy the cherry blossoms in the evening when they are lit up.
It is a three-minute walk from Komoro Station.
