Nago Castle Park is a hot spot for cherry blossom-viewing in the winter as thousands of visitors come to enjoy the pink blush flowers. Nago-dake, a mountain just at the back of the park, does not receive the same glory.
Enjoy a leisurely hike through the forested trails of the mountain and enjoy sweeping views of the coast. It is a perfect fall season getaway!
