Cherry trees along the Hinokinai River bank and spring scenery of Kakunodate✨
GPS art of cherry blossoms in Hinokinai River bank park, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Semboku City, Akita Prefecture.
Hinokinai Riverbank Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot adjacent to the streets of Kakunodate with its samurai residences. The 2-km-long rows of cherry trees, along with weeping cherry trees along the samurai residences, have been selected as one of the “100 Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Japan. In spring, approximately 400 Someiyoshino cherry trees bloom, turning the riverside into a pale pink color. Walking through the cherry blossom tunnel, visitors can enjoy the contrast between the elegant townscape and the cherry blossoms.
The peak of the cherry blossom season is usually from mid-April to late April. At night, the area is illuminated, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The view of the rows of cherry trees from Yokomachi Bridge is spectacular. Please try GPS art while sightseeing🌸
