Gaisen Sakura Street

The "Gaisen Sakura" cherry blossom avenue in this post town is rare nationwide, with 137 cherry trees planted in 1906 to commemorate the victory in the Russo-Japanese War. Currently, there are 133 Somei-Yoshino cherry trees, and the magnificent tunnel of cherry trees blooming every 5.5 meters is a representative spring scene in Shinjo Village. On both sides of the street, there are waterways that flow gently, and the gentle sound of the water has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Soundscapes of Japan" and "Top 100 Fragrant Landscapes of Japan." Cherry blossom season: mid- to late April
