Tsugawa Weeping Cherry Blossoms: Pink Corridor and Nighttime Hanami (Fragrance Viewing)
Along the Kuratsu River in Tendo City, a 1.4-kilometer-long tunnel of cherry blossoms transforms every spring. This weeping cherry blossom path reaches its peak viewing period in mid-April, with cherry blossoms cascading down like a waterfall, creating a dreamlike scene. Strolling along the riverbank, a gentle breeze caresses the cherry blossom petals, creating a breathtakingly romantic atmosphere. Not only is it a famous cherry blossom viewing spot during the day, but the cherry blossoms are even more stunning at night when illuminated. The soft yellow lights reflecting on the pink petals add a touch of tranquility and romance to evening walks. Notably, it's located near the Tendo Onsen (hot spring) town, where visitors can relax in the hot springs after enjoying the blossoms and soak in the warm embrace of Yamagata's springtime.
