Our guide
Shimizu Park is a privately owned park in the city of Noda, Chiba, about 65 km north of Tokyo. It is known for its cherry blossoms, with more than 2,000 trees of some 50 varieties, many flowering in late March or April during the annual cherry blossom festival; in 1990 the Japan Cherry Blossom Association chose it as one of Japan's top 100 cherry blossom spots. There are also plums and azaleas, with a plum festival in February and an azalea festival later in spring.
Shimizu-kōen Station on the Tōbu Urban Park Line is close by; the point we map is about 900 m from it. Blossom dates vary, and we have not checked opening hours or fees.
