Sendai, Japan | Hitome Senbonzakura Along the Shiroishi River — Absolutely Breathtaking!

#cherryblossom25
One of the most stunning cherry blossom spots in the Tohoku region — this is where spring turns into poetry.

What Makes It Special:
Over 1,200 cherry trees stretch along the Shiroishi River embankment, creating a dreamy sakura tunnel that seems to go on forever. When the petals fall into the river, it looks like a floating pink carpet. Pure magic.

Main Viewing Spot:

Location: Between Ōgawara Town and Shibata Town, Miyagi Prefecture
Best Viewing Time: Around mid-April (varies slightly each year)
Nearby Places to Explore:
Funaoka Castle Ruins Park: Great for history lovers and panoramic sakura views from the hillside.
Nijūshin Weir (Nijushinzeki): Serene river scenery, perfect for a quiet stroll away from the crowds.

Tips for Visiting:
Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and catch the best soft light for photos.
Bring a bento and enjoy a riverside picnic under the blossoms.
If you’re in Tohoku during sakura season, Hitome Senbonzakura is a must-see.
