Sakurabira in Full Bloom: Hyotarozakura at Kamikuzugawa

The time when the "Hyotarozakura" in the Kamikuzugawa district of Totsukawa Village reaches its full bloom. This large weeping cherry tree was planted during the time of the Morishita family's grandfather and is about 130 years old. It is said that the Hyotarozakura blooms beautifully and quickly scatters its petals, making it a popular spot among photographers who want to capture its fleeting beauty. During the blooming period, visitors are overwhelmed by the beautiful sight of the giant rocks and the magnificent weeping cherry blossoms. Despite the narrow mountain roads, many photographers from all over the country visit this hidden paradise to see the elusive weeping cherry blossoms, which are the envy of photography enthusiasts. ■Notes Please exercise caution due to the narrow roads in the mountainous area.
