#cherryblossom25

Kakunodate, a historic samurai town in Akita Prefecture, Japan, is famous for its breathtaking cherry blossom season in late April to early May. The town’s preserved samurai residences are beautifully framed by hundreds of weeping cherry trees, creating a romantic, nostalgic atmosphere. Along the Hinokinai River, a tunnel of cherry blossoms draws visitors from around the country, making Kakunodate one of Tohoku’s top hanami (flower viewing) destinations.
