Tsurugajo Castle

The castle is a cherry blossom viewing spot and the symbol of Aizu Wakamatsu City. Its official name is Wakamatsu Castle, and it is also sometimes called Aizu Castle or Aizu Wakamatsu Castle. The castle tower, the only one in Japan covered with red tiles, preserves the beautiful appearance of the castle in the feudal era.

The pure white castle with cherry blossoms as a backdrop is absolutely gorgeous. At night, the castle is lit up and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms under the lights too.

There are tons of cherry trees planted near the shrine, and when they're in full bloom, the scenery is just breathtaking. It's also a major center of faith for locals in Hokkaido.

Just like Tokyo Disneyland, USJ is a world-class theme park. But while Disneyland offers free FastPass reservations, you have to pay extra for them at Universal Studios Japan. I don't really get it—after paying such a high admission fee, shouldn't the service be better?
