Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park

From the cherry trees of the temple town to the garden cherries beside the imperial villa

Enjoy the villa's buildings and gardens together.
The pleasure of this course is in tasting the difference in setting between the cherry trees seen in town and those planted in the garden. Even after the blossoms are gone, you can shift your gaze to new buds and green trees as you stroll.
