Amanohashidate is not a famous place to see cherry blossoms although if you are visiting Japan and missed to see cherry blossoms in Kyoto city(or Tokyo, Hiroshima and so on), usually our cherry blossoms bloom later than them so maybe you can consider that.
(The picture is from 9th April 2013, from on the way to Kasamatsu Park though footpath)
☆Famous place to see cherry blossoms in Miyazu city is Takigami Park(滝上公園Takigami kouen). Blooming season is usually beginning of April to mid April. In the past there was lighting up in the night but I'm not sure now.
P.S. I visited Takigami park spring 2014 and almost of cherry blossoms are too old to bloom. I recommend Miyazu junior high school more than this park.
