Mitake no Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)

Nature
Spring

"Mitake no Sakura" in Misugi-cho, Tsu City, is a cherry blossom spot very rare even in Japan, featuring a beautiful contrast between terraced rice fields spreading across mountain slopes and cherry blossoms. Old wild cherry trees continue for about 1.5 kilometers, and the scenery of "Sakasa-zakura" (inverted cherry blossoms) reflected on the water surface of the terraced fields especially fascinates many photographers and tourists. Due to the elevation difference, the blooming period is long, allowing for a leisurely enjoyment of the flowers. The beauty of cherry blossoms blending into the simple rural landscape is the original Japanese landscape itself, providing a quiet, heart-stirring emotion that sets it apart from urban tourist areas.
