1,000 Cherry Blossoms Festival – last
The cherry blossoms here are Someiyoshino which are the most common type of cherry trees in Japan. They account for 70 to 80% of the total number. Bloom gloriously with Someiyoshino in spring, and they produce masses of whitish-pink flowers. Although most of them are Someiyoshino here, I saw some of Yaezakura as well. Both of them are very beautiful. It is worth to come see them.
It only takes one hour and 20 minutes from Tokyo by a bullet train and a 10-minute walk to Ueda station.
