Kannonji River Cherry Blossom Avenue

【1km Cherry Blossom Tunnel】A spring miracle reflected in the clear stream. The rainbow-colored 'Kannonji River Cherry Blossom Avenue'

The Kannonji River flowing through Inawashiro Town. The cherry blossom avenue that stretches about 1km along the embankment is one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing spots in Fukushima Prefecture. The natural flow of the river, which has not been subjected to bank protection works, and the contrast with the cherry blossoms that fill the sky create a beauty that captivates the heart of anyone who sees it.

• The luxury of walking through the cherry blossom tunnel 
  The highlight here is undoubtedly the 'cherry blossom tunnel' created by the Somei Yoshino and weeping cherry trees. The pink corridor that continues for about 1km feels like a different world as soon as you step in. Looking up, the cherry blossoms cover the sky, and looking down, the clear stream flows gently, with everything in sight dyed in the colors of spring.
• The fantastical 'Rainbow Light-up' night cherry blossoms 
  A unique highlight is the night illumination held during the cherry blossom festival. The 'rainbow' light that distinguishes itself from ordinary illuminations shines on the cherry blossoms, and the reflection of those colors on the river surface creates a fantastical scene as if you have wandered into a dream. You can enjoy a dramatic night cherry blossom viewing that completely transforms the pure and simple beauty of the daytime.
• Experience 'Japan's original scenery' with all five senses 
  Walking while listening to the murmuring of the river and being enveloped in the soft fragrance of cherry blossoms is an irreplaceable moment of healing. Combined with the lively atmosphere of the festival with food stalls, it is a special place where both children and adults can truly enjoy 'Japan's spring.'
