Located near JR Katsunuma Budo-kyo Station on the Chuo Main Line, Jinroku Sakura is a beloved destination that draws crowds every spring. Directly in front of the station, a wide plaza is surrounded by approximately 1,000 cherry trees. These trees have been carefully nurtured by the local community, specifically the "Jinroku-kai" group, preserving the natural beauty of the area. Because the site sits on an elevated position, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kofu Basin and the Southern Alps. During the evening, the trees are illuminated, revealing a completely different, more mystical expression than during the day.
The name "Jinroku Sakura" is derived from the "Jinroku-kai," a group of successors from the local Hishiyama district dedicated to preserving and nurturing the cherry blossoms. These trees are a symbol of the local culture and the enduring spirit of the Katsunuma area. Furthermore, the station surroundings contain elements of railway heritage, adding a layer of historical depth to your visit. The very name of the station,
