8Osaka, Japan
Osaka is the home of Osaka Castle which harkens back to 1597. More specifically, there is a wonderful park directly in front of it that features 4,000 cherry trees. When they are in bloom, you can get a great shot of them with the castle visible in the background.
Other cherry blossom hotspots include Kema Sakuranomiya Park–home to 5,000 trees–, the world-renown Expo 70 Commemorative Park, Tsurumi Riyokushi Park, and the Osaka Mint Bureau.

Korea should be added to this list. They’re also have cherry blossom
Hi!
Thanks for your comment and for reading the article. I can think of a couple of places that also have cherry blossom trees somewhere. Unfortunately, only these places made the top 14. No doubt Korea would have made a longer list. I do not really choose the winners though for the most part.
