#cherryblossom25

Highlights of Kitakami Tenshochi Cherry Blossoms:

1. 10,000 Cherry Trees: Tenshochi Park boasts around 10,000 cherry trees of various varieties, including Somei-Yoshino, Shidare-Zakura (weeping cherry), and Kawazu-Zakura, creating a stunning diversity of blooms.

2. 2-Kilometer Sakura Tunnel: Along the Kitakami River embankment stretches a breathtaking 2-kilometer cherry blossom avenue. When in full bloom, the endless rows of pink form a spectacular floral corridor.

3. Aged Trees in Full Splendor: Many of the cherry trees here are over 80 years old, with expansive canopies and incredibly dense blossoms. When they bloom, the flowers cluster like clouds, creating a dreamy sea of pink.

4. Scenic Harmony & Japanese Aesthetics: During the sakura season, colorful koinobori (carp streamers) flutter over the Kitakami River. The soft pink blossoms contrast beautifully with the vibrant flags, forming a picturesque scene straight out of a traditional Japanese painting.
