Nitchusen Weeping Cherry Blossom Avenue

[Japan's Largest Cherry Blossom Tunnel] The stunning 'Nitchu Line Weeping Cherry Blossom Avenue' in bloom along the phantom railway, featuring a steam locomotive.

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, boasting 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 steam locomotive.

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

• Best photo opportunity: Along the avenue, a jet-black 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 steam locomotive is a beauty that cannot be seen anywhere else.

■ A privilege unique to 'Tabinoito'! Comfortable cherry blossom viewing with a one-way walk.

We have prepared a special style to enjoy the cherry blossom avenue, which stretches 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 for you at the exit (goal point) about 3 km ahead.
• Immerse in the breathtaking view: You can fully immerse yourself in cherry blossom viewing and photography without worrying about your stamina or time on the way back.
