Nitchu Line Weeping Cherry Blossom Avenue

【Japan's largest cherry blossom tunnel】 The stunning 'Nitchu Line Weeping Cherry Blossom Avenue' in full bloom alongside the SL.

The overwhelming scenic beauty that announces the arrival of spring in Kitakata is the 'Nitchu Line Weeping Cherry Blossom Avenue.' This is one of Japan's largest promenades, featuring about 1,000 rare 'weeping cherry trees' blooming over approximately 3 km. During full bloom, a breathtaking 'cherry blossom tunnel' appears as if a pink shower is falling from the sky.

■ Nostalgia of the abandoned railway and the contrast of the jet-black SL.

The unique point here is not just a promenade, but the historical background of being the site of the 'former National Railways Nitchu Line,' which was abolished in 1984.

• Best photo opportunity: Along the avenue, a jet-black SL (steam locomotive) that once ran in this area is on display.
• Nostalgic co-starring: The scenery created by the soft pink weeping cherry blossoms and the heavy, retro SL is a beauty that cannot be seen anywhere else.

■ Exclusive privilege of 'Tabinoito'! Comfortable cherry blossom viewing with a one-way walk.

We have prepared a special style to enjoy the cherry blossom avenue, which is about 6 km round trip, comfortably.

• Special shuttle style: We will see you off at the starting point, and a dedicated vehicle will be waiting at the exit (goal point) about 3 km ahead.
• Immerse in the stunning scenery: You can fully enjoy cherry blossom viewing and photography without worrying about your stamina or time on the way back.
