日本新潟县：高田城樱花展

Takada Park in Niigata prefecture offers a romantic option for nocturnal visitors. Cherry blossom viewing in Takada Castle is one of the three biggest night hanami events in Japan. The tourism website shows you how to hanami like a Japanese.

新潟县的高田公园是夜间观赏樱花的浪漫选择。高田城的樱花展是全日本最大的“花见会”(日语：赏花活动)举办地之一。那里的旅游网站会告诉你如何像日本人一样去“花见”。

Takada Park's 4,000 blooming cherry trees will be lit up by thousands of bombori lanterns (traditional small oval-shaped lanterns) along the "Sakura road." "Because of cooler weather this year, cherry blooms will start a little bit later than usual," Kazuyuki Akiyama from International Tourism Office of Niigata Prefecture estimates. "I would say mid-to-late April will be the best time to see cherry blossom at Takada Castle."

高田公园的4000多株樱花树将点缀着上千盏竹灯笼(传统的鹅蛋形灯笼)，照亮一整条“樱花大道”。 “今年比往常更冷一点，所以樱花也会盛开得稍晚一点，” 新潟国际旅游办公室的Kazuyuki Akiyama预测道。“我估计4月中下旬会是观赏樱花的最佳时节。”

Traditional Japanese food and local food specialties like yakitori and takoyaki will be sold from 300 outdoor stalls at the event during the festival. Also, don't miss the firework on the final day.

节日当天还会有300家露天摊位供应传统日本小吃，比如日式烧鸡、章鱼烧之类的。还有，不要错过最后一天的烟花哦。
