Sakura, Regional city in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

Sakura spreads across the northern region of Tochigi Prefecture, surrounded by mountains and characterized by its traditional Japanese architecture and urban layout.

The city emerged from a castle town foundation, gaining official city status in 2005 through the merger of Kitsuregawa and Ujiie towns.

The National Museum of Japanese History in Sakura presents extensive collections documenting the development of Japanese society from prehistoric to modern times.

Visitors reach Sakura via the JR and Keisei railway lines, with direct connections to Tokyo and Narita International Airport through regular train services.

The Dutch-style windmill at Sakura Furusato Square stands amid seasonal flower displays, reflecting international connections within this traditional Japanese setting.
