Fukuoka Weir

Fukuoka Weir

One of the most scenic cherry blossom spots in the region, featuring a 1.8km tunnel of 450 cherry trees along a historic dam. The branches lean over the water, creating a stunning reflection, and as the petals fall, they form a "flower raft" on the river's surface. It is a peaceful place to experience the quintessential beauty of a quiet Japanese spring away from the crowds.
