Daigo Zakura
This cherry tree is located in Ochiai Tarumi, Maniwa City. The large 18-meter azuma-higan cherry tree, a type of higan-zakura (solstice cherry), is said to be over 700 years old, and its name comes from the legend that Emperor Go-Daigo praised it when he arrived in Oki. It was selected as one of Japan’s top 100 famous trees and is a prefectural Natural Monument, bringing many cherry blossom viewers in the spring.
