Hitome Senbonzakura is a stunning 8-kilometer stretch of cherry trees along the Shiroishigawa River, offering breathtaking views, especially when the Zao mountain range is still capped with snow. Located between Ogawara and Shibata, it's easily accessible from Sendai via the JR Tohoku Line. The best time to visit is during the full bloom in early to mid-April. Stroll along the embankment, cross the Shibata Sen'okyo Bridge for panoramic views, and explore the riverside parks. Enjoy the serene atmosphere near Funaoka Station or the lively festival vibe closer to Ogawara Station. Don't miss the illuminated cherry trees during the winter season.
