CHERRY BLOSSOM - IWATSUKI CASTLE PARK (岩槻城址公園)

Iwatsuki Castle Park is one of the most outstanding cherry blossom sites in the prefecture Saitama. Some 600 - 700 trees are now in full bloom. I must thank Miura san for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. 
The Yatsuhashi Bridge (zig-zag bridge) of the park. 
Rows of cherry trees lining up at one corner of the park.  
The colour combination in this part of the park is so beautiful.
Cherry Blossoms are really magnificent when they are in full bloom. Unfortunately, they can only last for a week or two.
This should be the most spectacular tree - a weeping cherry (Shidare Zakura) tree in full bloom.
