Let's enjoy the cherry blossom scenery in a World Heritage site
The beautiful weeping cherry blossoms add a touch of spring to the historic Kumano Hongu Taisha. Additionally, about 100 Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom vibrantly at the old shrine site 'Osohara', located approximately 500 meters away. From Osohara, you can also enjoy the view of cherry blossoms spreading across the Nanakoshi Peak on the opposite side of the Kumano River. Seeing the cherry blossoms blooming along the path to Hongu is an exciting pleasure of the journey.
