Considered one of the best sights to see in Chiba, Hokoen is a park famous for its flowers and cherry blossoms. The park, founded in 1933, was cultivated along the side of a mountain. From the mountainside park, there is a great view of the ocean. Stroll through the park's paths lined with cherry trees and take in the fresh air and colorful sights. The Hokoen Cherry Blossom Festival is held in February, as the trees there blossom early.
