According to Weathernews, the cherry blossoms in Okayama Prefecture are expected to bloom on March 26, 2026.

There are several famous cherry blossom spots in Kurashiki City.
We will introduce five spots, each with its own characteristics, using past photos. I hope this will be helpful for those wondering where to go for cherry blossom viewing.

Sakatsu Park

Sakatsu Park is an essential cherry blossom spot in Kurashiki City. There are about 500 cherry trees planted in the park. With athletic facilities and open spaces, it is popular among families with children.

The view of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms blooming along the embankment of the water reservoir is unique to Sakatsu Park. Walking around the pond is very pleasant.

There are also food stalls, so you can enjoy gourmet food while viewing the cherry blossoms.

Tanematsuyama Park

The park with the most cherry trees in Kurashiki City is Tanematsuyama Park, with about 1,000 trees. The cherry blossoms bloom vigorously, covering the mountainside.

With many athletic facilities, it is also popular among families. There are hardly any open spaces, so it is basically a place to walk and enjoy the view.

Enstu-ji Park

Enstu-ji Park, located in Tamashima, Kurashiki City, is famous as the place where the monk Ryokan trained.

This park is located on a mountain and offers a view of the Seto Inland Sea. The view from near the summit is recommended. The scenery of the Seto Inland Sea and cherry blossoms spreads out below.

The overall gentle slope allows you to spread out a leisure sheet comfortably.

Bikan Historical Area

There are cherry blossoms in the tourist area of Bikan Historical Area. Although there are few trees, seeing cherry blossoms along with riverboats and swans is unique to Bikan Historical Area.

Achi Shrine also has several cherry trees. Since it is relatively less crowded, this is a good place to enjoy the cherry blossoms slowly.

Kurashiki Ivy Square is also a hidden cherry blossom spot. A row of cherry trees is lined up next to the courtyard square.

Since Bikan Historical Area is a tourist spot, you cannot spread out a leisure sheet for cherry blossom viewing. Let's enjoy the cherry blossoms while walking.

Ojigadake Hill

Ojigadake Hill, spanning Kurashiki City and Tamano City, is also a recommended cherry blossom spot. This mountain, about 230 meters high, is dotted with huge rocks and strange formations, making it popular as a scenic spot.

The view from the Ojigadake Rest House is recommended.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the islands and cherry blossoms. It is a view that you will want to gaze at forever.

At the Ojigadake Rest House, there is a café called 5Deli Ojigadake, so it might be nice to enjoy drinks and light meals while viewing the cherry blossoms.
