Yamazaki River
Approximately 600 Yoshino cherry trees have been planted along a roughly 2.8 kilometer-long stretch of the Yamazaki River, which flows through the Mizuho Ward of Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture. This area has been selected for inclusion in Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots. The appearance of this row of flowering cherry trees within a quiet residential area makes for a particularly spectacular sight. Near the Kanae-kohashi Bridge there are many old cherry trees that produce particularly attractive flowers; visitors can enjoy the perfect contrast between the wooden bridge and the cherry blossoms floating on the surface of the river. When the cherry trees are in full bloom (from late March through into early April), the trees near the Kanae-kohashi Bridge are illuminated at night. The cherry blossom “tunnel” that links Mizuho Kuyakusho Station with the Yamazaki River is also well worth seeing. There are toilets available, but no parking.
