Nikko Kaido Road, Tochigi

#cherryblossom25 Review (Traveler using #cherryblossom25): Driving along the Nikko Kaido Road during sakura season was like entering a real-life anime scene. This 16-kilometer stretch lined with cherry blossom trees is absolutely stunning — and I caught it just as the petals began to fall, so it felt like driving through a snowstorm of pink. I stopped a few times to walk along the road and take pictures, and each section seemed more beautiful than the last. This isn’t your typical cherry blossom park experience — it’s more about the journey than a single location. The trees here are mostly yamazakura, so the colors are deeper and the blossoms a bit more wild and natural. I also stopped by some of the small shrines along the route, which made the experience feel spiritual. Using #cherryblossom25 for this road trip was a must — I’ll be looking back at these photos for years. Peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable.
