Blossom Panorama

Nestled in Kitashiobara Village, Sakuratoge Pass is a breathtaking cherry blossom destination where over 3,000 Ōyama-zakura trees adorn the rolling hills. Planted in 2001 to commemorate the birth of Princess Aiko, this expansive grove offers a unique hanami experience, with deep pink blossoms contrasting against the snow-capped Iide Mountains. The best viewing period typically falls between late April and early May, making it one of the latest blooming spots in the region
