Cherry Blossoms

Japan’s Top 100 Blossoms: Miyagawa Tsutsumi Park (Mie)

Travel

A 1-kilometer stretch of cherry trees line the banks of the Miya River, northwest of the Gekū (Outer Ise Shrine). This area has been known as a “sakura crossing” since the Edo period, when travelers, in the absence of a bridge, used a ferry to cross the waterway.

Although the blossoms of Miyagawa Tsutsumi Park are known as hitome senbon (a thousand sakuras at a glance), there are actually only around 600 trees. A spring festival is held when the blossoms are at their peak, accompanied by nighttime illuminations of the riverside yozakura.
