Editor’s Note
Nearby Ono is home to the famous
“Ono Sakura Embankment Corridor.”
It’s truly beautiful—but also very crowded during peak season.
If you’re looking for something quieter, try a local hidden route:
Minō River Sakura Gravel
A gentle riverside path with a mix of paved and unpaved sections,
lined with cherry blossoms.
Fewer people, more atmosphere—
a place where you can really feel the season.
Popular spots are great,
but sometimes stepping off the main path reveals something even better.
Why not find your own favorite sakura this year? 🌸
