One of Kariya City's top spots to enjoy cherry blossoms' botanical beauty

Behold the famous cherry blossoms of Kijo Park during the annual Kariya Cherry Blossom Festival. This park acts as the western area of the festival, complementing the flowers of Suhara Park to the north, and lights up the night with lanterns so you can enjoy the flowers even into the evening together with an appearance by vendors, food trucks, and other delights.
A host of other events is available at Kijo Park, promising good times during this cherry blossom viewing season.
