This site was chosen as one of the 100 best cherry blossom viewing sites in Japan. Visitors will see a blanket of cherry blossoms in an array pinks hues, covering the 1,000 or so cherry blossom trees which line eight kilometers of the riverbank. Here one can see both the snow speckled Mt Zao, and the spring cherry blossoms - a rare treat!
Getting there:
- By train from Sendai station to Ogawara station approximately 35 minutes
- By bus from Sendai station approximately 1 hour
