There are many cherry trees along Kakogawa River in Tamba City, I enjoyed driving on Route 175 and 483. It was really ethereal and amazing scenery.
Very long lined cherry trees. It is a part of "Furusato Sakura-dzutsumi Kairo", which is long chain between Setouchi Inkandsea and Sea of Japan by the Hyogo Prefecture. It completed 19 years ago, and then cherry trees grow up decently. Of course, not all trees could be grow because Somei-Yoshino cherry is very weak for some kinds of diseases. If one tree caught the disease, neighbour trees might die one after another. Fortunately cherry trees are fine in the mid and northern Tamba City.
This is an another spot, Kuramachino in Tamba City. These trees are clearly older than ones on bank of Kakogawa. They say those trees are about 50 years old. Old cherry trees show dynamic beauty like waves and vortices with glaceful and comlplicated branches.
It is at same location, Kuramachino aka "Tamba Shōnen Sizen-no-Ie". Many people had picnic under those trees. I suppose Kuramachino is the best spot for cherry blossoms in Tamba City. It is worth to visit.
Amazingly beautiful photos ... What beautiful landscapes ... If i give free rein to my imagination - i can almost feel the aroma of these beautiful flowers ...
ReplyDeleteHi, Natalie. Thank you so much! This photo was taken last year, acyually it is a bit early to blossom now. Cherry trees are seen all over Japan, even in urban cities, but I think cherry blossoms suit rural landscapes like that.
