Kurikara Pass

This area is famous as a turning point in the war between the Genji and Heike, when the Genji won the battle of Kurikara in 1183. It's the perfect place for history hunters, as it's filled with things to see. The double-flowered cherry trees here are also famous, and every year from late April through early May it's the location for a popular Sakura festival. Initially, it took over twenty years to plant over 3,000 cherry trees here, and now there are around 6,000 double-flowered cherries on the grounds. At night, they're lit up with 300 paper lanterns.
