Feel the Elegant Charm of Nara - Encounter with Cherry Blossoms and Deer at Chayama Park

While Nara Park is known for its cherry blossoms, Chayama Park, nestled within the park, is gaining popularity as a hidden cherry blossom spot. Here, you can enjoy the charming sight of Nara's unique varieties, "Nara no Yaezakura" and "Nara no Kokono-ezakura".

Nara no Yaezakura - A Cherry Blossom Praised by Ise Daisuke

The most eye-catching feature at Chayama Park is the "Nara no Yaezakura", praised in the poetry of Ise Daisuke. Around April 20th is the best season to see it, as it blooms from pink buds to white, and then gradually turns pink. Its elegant floral beauty is truly captivating.

Refined Beauty of Nara no Kokono-ezakura

Around April 10th, a cherry blossom called "Nara no Kokono-ezakura", similar to Nara no Yaezakura, also blooms. It bears flowers similar to Nara Yaezakura, but at the same time, its leaves also begin to sprout, making it distinctive. Despite being less known, its elegant floral beauty is highly praised, surpassing that of Somei Yoshino.

Picturesque Encounter of Cherry Blossoms and Deer

At Chayama Park, you can enjoy the encounter of cherry blossoms in full bloom and many deer. The scene of deer walking under the cherry blossoms is like a scene from a vintage Japanese painting. A picturesque moment awaits, tempting you to pick up your camera.

Chayama Park, a hidden gem within Nara Park, offers a place to be soothed by cherry blossoms and deer, allowing you to fully savor the elegant and refined charm of Nara. Why not spend a leisurely springtime at Chayama Park?

I visited on April 11, 2024, and I was very lucky to find this place. Although the cherry blossoms had fallen a lot, the scenery was still beautiful. With many deer together, everyone was busy taking photos😀🌸👍

This is a recommended spot where you can see many of the cherry blossoms that Daisuke Ise wrote about in his poem, ``I wonder if the cherry blossoms here smell slimy.'' The best time to see them is around April 20th. Around April 10th, you can see the very similar Japanese oak cherry tree. Both varieties are unique to Nara. The flowers are similar, but they bloom at different times, so it's not hard to tell them apart, but if you want to easily tell them apart, it's best to look at the sepals on the back of the flowers, and cherry blossoms generally have 5 sepals. There are 10 pieces in the oak tree. The Narano-kokonoe cherry tree blooms at the same time as the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, so it is not very famous, but it is very elegant and is said to be prettier than the Naranoya-ezakura cherry tree. On 24/04/19, I went out to see Naranoyaezakura. The change in color was beautiful: pink in the buds, white at the beginning of bloom, and pink as the bloom progressed. The Japanese oak cherry tree, which blooms around April 10th, had disappeared, probably because of the thunderstorm the other day. Nearby, there was a so-called double cherry tree with large flowers, but the Naranoyaezakura looked more elegant.

2022.04.11 Nara Park is widely known as a cherry blossom viewing spot, but this is a hidden spot where the Nara Kokonoe cherry blossoms bloom. It blooms flowers similar to Nara Yaezakura, but its leaves also sprout at the same time as the flowers bloom. The popularity is quite low.
