Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

Minami Shinshu is the home of the most single cherry trees in Japan, with many beautifully shaped trees, including some that are over 300 years old. We offer an inspiring tour of the area accompanied by a guide who is a cherry blossom keeper, who will tell you about the historical stories surrounding the cherry trees, their connections to daily life, and the efforts being made to preserve them for the future.

◎Japan's only cherry tree
There are more than 4,500 single cherry trees in Nihon, especially in Fukushima, Nagano, and Yamagata prefectures. Among them, Minami Shinshu has 289 single cherry trees, the most in Japan, and Minami Shinshu is the only place in Japan with more than 80 cherry trees that are over 300 years old. Minami Shinshu has a topography with a difference in elevation in the Ina Valley, so the cherry trees bloom gradually depending on the altitude, allowing you to enjoy them for three weeks.

◎What is Sakuramori?
This is an organization that brings together many cherry blossom lovers, including the famous cherry blossom researcher Kazuichi Morita. They are engaged in activities to preserve cherry blossoms, pass on the varieties, tell the stories of cherry blossoms to visitors, and pass on cherry blossoms to the next generation as a local treasure.

〇Recommendations for the night before
We recommend that you take a highway bus from Shinjuku or Nagoya the day before and stay in Iida the night before. There are hotels available near the meeting place.
Please enjoy Iida, the number one yakiniku town in Japan.

○Iida, the number one yakiniku town in Japan
Iida City in southern Shinshu is ranked number one in Japan for the number of yakiniku restaurants per 10,000 people, according to the "Number of yakiniku restaurants by city nationwide" published in the NTT Town Pages.
Iida has a unique yakiniku and meat-eating culture, and in addition to lamb, which has been eaten since ancient times, and innards such as black offal, you can enjoy unique and one-of-a-kind yakiniku, such as the local brand beef Minami Shinshu beef, which is hard to find in other areas.
