Breathtaking scenery of cherry blossoms and apple blossoms in full bloom against the backdrop of Mount Iwaki!
Iwaki River Park is a beautiful park in Itayanagi Town, Kita-Tsugaru District, Aomori Prefecture, boasting stunning cherry blossoms against the backdrop of Mount Iwaki. Conveniently located a 15-minute walk from JR Itayanagi Station, the park sits on the riverbank.
