Sakura-Toge Park is a young park, created in 2001 with a planting of 2,001 oyamazakura to commemorate the birth of Princess Aiko. More sakura were planted in the following years, and they now number around 3,000. The sakura seen from a ridge is simply stunning. In addition to their ability to withstand the harsh northern winters, oyamazakura are known for their darker pink blossoms and leaves that come out with the blossoms. Peak viewing time is early May.
