Visit the iconic lone cherry tree at Koiwai Farm, a picturesque spot often featured in dramas. This Edo Higan cherry tree, estimated to be over 100 years old, stands against the backdrop of majestic Mount Iwate. Originally planted as a shade tree for grazing cattle, it now graces the farm's green pastures. The best time to visit is during cherry blossom season, though the scenery is beautiful year-round. Located in Shizukuishi, Iwate, it's a 15-minute taxi ride from JR Shizukuishi Station. Parking is available.
