Beautiful cherry blossoms near “Blue Art Hostel”

Hello, this is Amaka.
Today, I would like to talk about the beautiful cherry blossoms near “Blue Art Hostel“.

There are many beautiful cherry trees near “Blue Art Hostel” in Kitahiroshima-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture, where I was born.

Weeping cherry blossoms at Enryu-ji Temple, a 5-minute walk from “Blue Art Hostel”

First of all, we would like to introduce weeping cherry trees at Enryu-ji Temple, a 5-minute walk from “Blue Art Hostel”.

The weeping cherry tree in front of the main hall of Enryu-ji Temple, Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha, is about 350 years old and is at its best now.

It is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Kitahiroshima Town.

Cherry blossoms at Ainosato Herb Garden, a 5-minute drive from “Blue Art Hostel”

Next is the cherry blossoms at Ainosato Herb Garden, a 5-minute drive from “Blue Art Hostel”.
During this season, it is like walking through a tunnel of cherry blossoms.

The best time to visit is from late May to late June, when the German chamomile flowers are in full bloom and the herb garden, a natural restaurant, and a café are located on the 40,000 m2 site.

The best season is from late May to late June, when the German chamomile flowers are in full bloom and you can enjoy picking flowers ($2 per bag).

Since no pesticides are used, the picked flowers are fresh and can be made into herb tea, which is gentle on the body and has a great taste and aroma.

Cherry blossoms in Miharashi Park, a 2-minute drive from “Blue Art Hostel”

Miharashi Park is located on a hill overlooking Kodomoen.
The red triangular roof in the distance is the Children’s Garden.

Cherry blossoms along the Haji Dam Bike Path, a 30-minute drive from “Blue Art Hostel”

The last is the cherry blossoms along the Doji Dam Cycling Road, a 30-minute drive from “Blue Art Hostel”.

You can enjoy nature in each season along the Yachiyo Lake Cycling Path, but the cherry blossom season is exceptional.

After renting a MTB at the terminal, you can start a 10-km round-trip cycling tour.
Cycling with the wind in your face as the cherry blossoms dance in the air is a wonderful feeling.

In April 2025, I opened “Blue Art Hostel”, a DIY renovation of the second floor of my house in Kitahiroshima-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture!

If you ever come to Hiroshima, please stop by.
Please take your time and enjoy the charm of Kitahiroshima-cho.

Blue Art Hostel” will start accepting reservations in June after we have finished preparing the interior and the entrance.

See you soon!
