Enjoy cherry blossoms in Nagoya and visit Meijo Park in spring

Nagoya is one of the most important cities in central Japan. Today, I would like to recommend a small free cherry blossom viewing spot in Nagoya, Meijo Park. Meijo Park, near the famous Nagoya Castle. Convenient transportation, direct access by subway, You can get off at Shiyakusho Station, and you can see the park entrance when you come out. In Meijo Park, you can see the towering castle from afar. Nagoya Castle is located in the center of Nagoya City and is a local landmark. There are many beautiful water birds and lush reeds in the castle moat. Nagoya Castle and Meijo Park are closely connected, and both are famous local cherry blossom viewing spots. But compared to the bustling Nagoya Castle, the Meijo Park is less crowded and has beautiful scenery, providing a better experience. Every March and April, the cherry blossoms in Mingcheng Park are in full bloom, which is extremely beautiful, especially near the artificial lake in the park, where there is a large area of ​​the best-blooming cherry blossom trees. And unless it’s a weekend, there aren’t usually too many tourists.

Sip & See: Nagoya’s Perfect Pairing 🏯☕ Combine historic charm with modern vibes as you explore Nagoya Castle followed by a breather at q.o.l. coffee—a cozy spot where sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows and trees cast dreamy shadows, making it the perfect pit stop, rain or shine! Start your morning at Nagoya Castle (1-1 Honmaru, Naka Ward), arriving early to stroll the serene grounds and snap “insta-worthy” shots of the iconic golden shachihoko rooftops. Don’t miss the impressive Hommaru Palace and its delicate painted doors—prime backdrop for photos, especially on cloudy days when the moody lighting enhances every detail. Main areas open 9:00–16:30, closed Dec 29–Jan 1—plan accordingly! After exploring, reward yourself with a gourmet coffee at q.o.l. coffee. Take a close-up still: your cup framed by the modern architecture and lush outdoor scenery visible through the café’s panoramic glass. The atmosphere is restful and stylish, great for slowing down and journaling your adventure or getting that dreamy shot with natural tree shadows—the best seats are near the window! Local Tips: Arrive at Nagoya Castle as doors open to skip crowds; weekdays are noticeably quieter. For q.o.l. coffee, rainy days make indoor seating extra cozy, while sunny mornings fill the café with gorgeous light play. Don’t forget cash—some local spots may not accept cards. #Nagoya #NagoyaCastle #CoffeeCulture #TravelJapan #HiddenGems
