Overview
Standing majestically on a hillside amidst expansive tea fields is a one-hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree. Reaching a height of 13 meters, this magnificent Yaezakura (double cherry blossom), a type of Yamazakura (mountain cherry), is a truly breathtaking sight. Cherished and protected by the local community for generations, this cherry tree has gained significant attention and many visitors since the construction of a bypass road. The contrast against the tea fields creates a picturesque scene, a truly beautiful sight to behold.
Once a hidden gem known only to locals, the bypass opened up access, transforming this cherry blossom tree into a popular tourist destination.
In early April, the "Yoshida no Sato's Centenary Cherry Blossom Festival" is held near the tree, offering local agricultural products, specialties, and complimentary Ureshino tea. During the cherry blossom season, the area comes alive with events and food stalls.
The solitary cherry blossom tree nestled in the tea fields is like a painting come to life, captivating all who visit. Take your time to admire its beauty and find solace in the peaceful rural landscape.
