Tips from the community

This historic cemetery might not be your first idea when considering where to witness the magic of cherry blossoms in the spring- but this iconic destination is decorated with some of the city's oldest cherry trees that still bloom proudly to this day. These trees bend into almost sculpture-like formations with overflowing bunches of bright bubblegum-colored pink petals fluttering in almost every direction around the well-kept grounds of the cemetery.
