A cherry blossom tunnel on Negawa Greenery Road – breathtaking spring views on the water

The Negawa Greenery Road is a quiet walking path that is well-known to locals. In spring, cherry blossoms grow along the water and you can enjoy some flower viewing. The best part about this path is seeing the cherry blossoms reflected in the water. When the wind blows, petals float onto the water to create an even more magical scene. Unlike popular spots where you have to fight for a space, here you can relax and enjoy. During cherry blossom season, we recommend a walk in the morning or afternoon. In the daytime, see soft sunlight shed upon the blossoms and in the afternoon, see the sunset-soaked trees.
