"Wanizuka Cherry Blossoms and Mt. Fuji" The symbol of Nirasaki City, "Wanizuka Cherry Blossom," is a 330-year-old Edohigan cherry tree in Kamiyama-cho, Nirasaki City, measuring 17 meters tall and 3.6 meters in circumference. ☺️🌸 The origin of the name "Wanizuka Cherry Blossom" is believed to be due to the fact that it is the tomb of Emperor Yamato Takeru's son, King Takeda, a keyhole-shaped tumulus, or the residence of the Ojin clan. On a clear day, you can also see the cherry blossoms, Mt. Fuji, and the Yatsugatake Mountains, creating a truly beautiful Japanese landscape. 😊 When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they are illuminated. ✨ This spectacular combination of the single cherry tree and Mt. Fuji is a must-see! You'll be amazed! 🥹🌸🏔✨ 🌸Wanizuka Cherry Blossoms🌸 📍 624 Kitamiyaji, Kamiyama-cho, Nirasaki City 🚃 15-minute bus ride from JR Nirasaki Station on the Chuo Main Line 10-minute walk from Takeda Hachimangu Shrine Entrance bus stop 🚗 20 minutes from Nirasaki IC on the Chuo Expressway ❇︎ Free parking, with temporary parking for 100 cars during the cherry blossom season.
