Home to the Miboro Dam, Japan’s first rock-fill dam, this area offers awe-inspiring engineering and natural beauty. It is most famous for the "Miboro Sakura," two 500-year-old cherry trees that were miraculously transplanted to save them from being submerged during the dam's construction. These trees stand as symbols of life and human dedication. The emerald-green lake and the moving history of the cherry blossoms attract visitors who appreciate both grand scale and poetic resilience.
