Shiroishigawa Embankment Hitome Sembonzakura

Reviewed By magnificentlanka2020 - Kandy, Sri Lanka

There is a Sakura festival that takes place at Funaoka Castle Park, closer to the Shiroishi River, which is located atop a hill. Sakura trees are lined along the pathway to the hill. Walking along the flower-lined pathway to the top of the hill is a beautiful journey. There is also a trolley available that takes you to the top of the hill. This park is the best place to have a bird view of the lined up Sakura along the Shiroishi River.
