Overview

Located in Wasa, Gero City, Gifu Prefecture, Naedazawa Sakura refers to two Yoshino cherry trees, each approximately 350-400 years old. Because their blooming period is consistent every year, it's said that local farmers used to rely on their blossoming as a sign to begin preparing for rice planting.

Naedazawa Sakura's peak bloom is typically from early to mid-April. The sight of two cherry trees in full bloom is truly awe-inspiring.
