The Enjuin Weeping Cherry Tree, located in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, is a designated natural monument and a highlight near Akame Shijuhachitaki Falls. This magnificent tree, estimated to be 350 years old, stands approximately 7.7 meters tall with a trunk diameter of about 1.2 meters. Enjuin Temple, founded in the Heian period, houses this notable cherry tree, easily recognizable by its gracefully drooping branches. While beautiful year-round, the best time to visit is during the spring cherry blossom season when the tree is illuminated at night. The temple is accessible via a steep slope next to a hotel, offering a serene and picturesque experience.
