Dainohara Forest Park

Dainohara Forest Park is a vast green space in Sendai that offers a peaceful cherry blossom experience. Unlike more compact parks, this park features long walking trails lined with cherry trees, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing stroll under the blossoms. The park is known for its blend of nature and wildlife, with dense forests, ponds, and open grassy areas perfect for picnics. During peak bloom in early to mid-April, the cherry blossoms create a beautiful contrast against the lush greenery. The park is also home to the Sendai City Science Museum, making it a great spot for families. One of the highlights is the elevated wooden boardwalk, which provides a unique view of the cherry blossoms from above. Since it’s not as crowded as other parks, Dainohara Forest Park is an excellent choice for those seeking a quieter and more immersive nature experience during cherry blossom season.
