Bloom Info
No.104 Oshima Kameyama Park
Oshima is an island near the famed Matsushima and its views of pine trees and the island-dotted bay. Kameyama Park has a hill that rises 235 meters above sea level to give visitors a view of the island and surrounding sea. The western slope of Kameyama is all the more beautiful in mid-April, when around 1,000 somei yoshino, shikizakura and other sakura start to bloom. There are also 10 gyoiko sakura, which have pale green blossoms.
