5.Daring to photograph the falling cherry blossoms is also recommended.
Japanese castles have moats around them to keep enemies out.
The many petals of cherry blossoms floating on the surface of the moat are very fantastic.
Some visitors dare to choose the time of year when the cherry blossoms are falling to go sightseeing.
Cherry blossom petals flow slowly with the flow of water.
