Sunset Petals at Akashi Park

As the golden hour bathed Akashi Park in a warm glow, over 1,000 cherry trees whispered their springtime secrets across the moat of the historic Akashi Castle. Families picnicked under the pink canopy while I strolled past petals floating like soft confetti on the still water. With each step, the serenity deepened. It wasn’t just a hanami—it was a memory painted in pink. #cherryblossom25
