Gojo River
A total of around 2,000 cherry trees line the banks of a 7.8 kilometer stretch of the Gojo River, which flows through Oguchi, Niwa County, Aichi Prefecture. With a road on one side and a nature footpath on the other, this section of the Gojo River has been designated as one of Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots. Around early April, when the cherry blossom is in full bloom, a visually-striking “cherry blossom tunnel” is created above the river, and the cherry blossom is illuminated at night. During the “Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival,” there are food-stalls, etc., and a variety of special events are held, with large numbers of visitors coming to view the cherry blossom. The stretch of the River where the cherry trees are planted has toilets, shops, and parking.
