    Nara Pref. Udashi Oudahongou
    The Matabei Cherry Trees are “weeping” cherry trees, located in the city of Uda and said to be 300 years old. According to legend, Goto Matabei, a military commander in the Warring States period, came to live here, and since the trees are near the ruins of his manor house, the trees are referred to as “Matabei Cherry Trees.” They produce beautiful blossoms in early April, attracting tens of thousands of cherry blossom enthusiasts each year.

    大野寺、仏隆寺、と並ぶ宇陀の三大桜。大坂夏の陣で活躍した戦国武将後藤又兵衛の屋敷跡にあると伝わることから、「又兵衛桜」と地元では親しまれています。 元々は屋敷跡からの樹齢300年の瀧桜(しだれ桜)1本だけでした。近年、周囲に桜が植えられ公園のようになっています。駐車場料金(500円)が要ります。

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
