    "This Gifu Prefecture designated Natural Monument has been selected as one of the Top 33 Spots to View Cherry Blossom in the Hida-Mino region. The two stand close together on a small hill across Yamato Bridge in the Wasa district. They are about 400 years old. The name comes from the practice of local farmers who would start preparing their rice nurseries (nawashiro) when the trees were in full bloom. As such, they were also called the ""Calendar Cherry Trees."" They're at their peak from early to mid-April. They are illuminated at night during this period when visitors come from near and far for the wonderful sight of the cherry blossoms reflected in the rice paddies."

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
