#AbsolutelyFreeTrip My first visit to the Satte Sakura Festival♡♡ There were so many food stalls and it was crowded! But it was so spacious that we had no trouble finding a spot There was also an agricultural cooperative nearby, so the day flew by,, At this time of year, you can see both cherry blossoms and rape blossoms, which is a treat for the eyes⸝⸝ The toilets are in the park, so we changed her diaper there! I thought it might be a little dirty, but I guess it's within the acceptable range for my daughter who is over 1 year old? If your child is still a baby, it might be a good idea to bring a diaper changing sheet!! There were goats and my daughter was playing happily with them (lol)

If you're looking to enjoy a stunning collaboration of cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, head to Gongendo in Saitama Prefecture! Have you heard of Gongendo in Satte City, Saitama Prefecture? This is a popular spot for flower viewing, especially in spring when cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers bloom together. You can stroll along the pathways surrounded by cherry blossom trees or walk amidst the vibrant rapeseed flowers. No matter where you look, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of blooming cherry blossoms. Additionally, nemophila flowers have started to bloom in the flower beds, creating a colorful landscape of pink, yellow, and blue that is truly mesmerizing. Weekdays are less crowded, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely picnic while enjoying the flowers. There's a spacious lawn area where families with children can play badminton, take naps, or simply relax and have fun. Moreover, different flowers bloom in other seasons, so it's worth visiting not just in spring but throughout the year to experience Japan's beautiful four seasons.

Gongendo No. 4 Park is a famous flower spot in every season, but it is especially special during cherry blossom season. Gongendo Embankment is the bank of the Nakagawa River, and about 1,000 cherry trees bloom along the south bank for about 1 km. Rape blossoms are planted on the riverbank, and the contrast between yellow and pink is wonderful. Gongendo No. 4 parking lot can accommodate 600 cars, including temporary parking, but it gets very congested on weekends. On the other side of the river, there are No. 2 and No. 3 Parks, which can accommodate 400 cars. There is a pedestrian bridge. No. 1 Park is just over 1 km away. There is a bus every 30 minutes, but during the Cherry Blossom Festival, a shuttle bus runs once an hour. (2025) Please check in advance for access information.

The Gongendo Sakura Festival is underway! 2025/04/05 The roads have been jammed with people waiting for parking since the morning 🚗³₃ The festival is held at Gongendo Park from March to April every year. When spring arrives, about 1,000 Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom on a 1km-long bank, creating a cherry blossom tunnel. In addition, rapeseed flowers are planted next to the bank, and the contrast between the pale pink of the cherry blossoms and the yellow of the rapeseed flowers is stunning. During the cherry blossom festival, about 100 stalls are set up, various events are held, and the area is bustling with many cherry blossom viewers. This year, the festival is scheduled to last until the 13th! How many flowers are in bloom now? They're not in full bloom yet!

The parking lot opens from 6am🅿️ #Spring0yentrip #SatteGongendoSakuraDike #Sakura ★There is a shuttle bus from Satte Station (during the Sakura Festival)

One of Saitama Prefecture's most famous flower spots, "Satte Gongendo Sakura Tsutsumi" In April, the cherry blossom season is a huge hit with the combination of a carpet of rape blossoms and cherry blossoms. A row of cherry blossoms falls along the bank for about 1 km, and when you go down to the riverbank, the rape blossoms bloom all over the place. The contrast between the pink of the cherry blossoms and the yellow of the rape blossoms is very fairy-tale-like and very popular. Then, in June, in early summer, there is a carpet of hydrangeas and Annabelle flowers. In July and August, there is a sunflower field. In autumn, there is a deep red carpet of red spider lilies. In winter, there are daffodils, pansies, Kawazu cherry blossoms, and more. The flowers of each season decorate Gongendo, making it a gorgeous place no matter when you go. It is also a course for walking dogs for local people. Basically, admission and parking are free except for the Sakura Festival. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the festivals have resumed during each flower season. By the way, there is a small goat farm in one corner of the park, and about five Yakushima goats are kept, which are very cute! #tripdomestictravel #SaitamaPrefecture #greatview #flowers

It's finally starting to get cooler around this time of year, so I went there for a jog. The bright red spider lilies and the cute fluffy kochia. Gongendo Park, where you can feel the seasons, is also a famous cherry blossom spot, but it's also a great place to visit in the fall. #autumntrip

#Sakura2024 This year, I went to Satte City, Saitama Prefecture to see the cherry blossoms. I think this spot became famous a few years ago, but the blue sky, the pink Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, and the yellow rape blossoms were so beautiful that I never got bored no matter how many hours I looked at them. The row of cherry trees stretches for 1 km. There are several parking lots, but it gets crowded, so I recommend going early. Also, the soba noodles nearby were delicious! I highly recommend this spot, and I'd definitely like to visit again next year.

#sightseeing I went to Gongendo in Satte, Saitama Prefecture to see the cherry blossoms! Last weekend, it was in full bloom! It was crowded with many people. The two colors of the cherry blossoms and rape blossoms are so beautiful! If you go by car, you may have a hard time with the traffic jams, but there were more places to spread out a picnic sheet than at cherry blossom spots in Tokyo, so I think it will be less crowded! There were also many food stalls! There is an agricultural cooperative on the other side of the road, so you can buy delicious vegetables and fruits! Please visit this weekend!

The two outstanding flower seasons of this park are the spider lily season and the sakura + rapeseed flower season.

Today we go to Kongendo Sakura Causeway, located in Yukite City, not far from Tokyo. Although the cherry blossoms have passed their full bloom time, looking at a sea of ​​rapeseed flowers, with cherry blossoms and blue sky and white clouds, is really comfortable and relaxing, very satisfying #Quan presentang Sakura Dike
