Sakura, Chiba / 佐倉ふるさと広場
Sakura Furusato Hiroba (Dutch Windmill)
A park on the south shore of Lake Inba, beautiful through the seasons. Sakura has had historical and cultural exchange with the Netherlands since the Edo period, and a genuine Dutch windmill stands as a symbol of friendship. Seasonal events are held, with tulips in spring, sunflowers in summer and cosmos in autumn. The park is being renovated, planned until the end of fiscal 2028.
