Yamataka Jindai Sakura

Yamataka Jindai Sakura stands in the grounds of Jisso-ji Temple in Takekawa Town. It is one of Japan's three most famous cherry trees, alongside Fukushima Prefecture's Miharu Takizakura and Gifu Prefecture's Usuzumizakura. It is an ancient Edo Higan cherry tree estimated to be 2,000 years old.

With a height of 10.3m and a circumference of 11.8m at the base and trunk, it is one of the oldest and largest giant trees in Japan, and was the first to be designated a national natural monument during the Taisho era.

The way they continue to bloom for an unimaginable amount of time is so divine that it is said that those who see them are unable to help but pray, and they have earned the reverence of cherry blossom lovers all over the country.

About 80,000 trumpet daffodils also bloom at the same time as the cherry blossoms, creating a beautiful contrast between the yellow at your feet and the pale pink above your head.
