Our trail allows you to visit Iwadono Castle which was built in 1530 and used its excellent vantage point to send and observe smoke signals as part of a network in the area. It has a museum inside and the grounds are filled with cherry blossom.
The castle is right next to Maruyama Park, a great viewing point for Fuji and home to more blossom.
All of the trails past the castle are well maintained. The easiest one to find is right behind the castle, which is also signposted right the way up to the top. At the summit, we will be greeted by a stone monument and hopefully more beautiful cherry blossoms!

After the event, you may submit a review/evaluation. Please kindly rate appropriately as a low evaluation has an impact on the group. Things you should clearly understand in advance:
- I (Mark) am not a tour guide. For many events this will also be my first time, and events are mainly organised based on intensive internet research.
- Nature cannot be guaranteed, so flower festivals may be impacted by the recent climate.
- We aim to depart on time, however bus schedules might change. This is unavoidable.
- We request participants arrive EARLY. In rare cases we might wait a few minutes if we do not need to take a bus.
- The number of participants is not guaranteed. However we will not have large groups.
- The event finish time might be earlier or later than advertised. The hiking time might be longer/shorter than anticipated. Return bus times are not guaranteed.
