Sakura Castle Ruins Park 佐倉城址公園
The only castle in Chiba among the 100 famous ones: over a thousand cherry trees bloom in late March.
Sakura Castle was the seat of the Hotta clan, daimyō of the Sakura domain during the Edo period. It is the only castle in Chiba Prefecture included in the ‘100 Famous Castles of Japan’ (日本100名城); the nearby Motosakura Castle is instead among the ‘100 Further Castles’ (続日本100名城).
