Miharu Takizakura — Attraction in Miharu

We visited Miharu Takizakura last month as a couple, and it was truly one of the most magical experiences of our trip to Japan. This ancient cherry blossom tree is absolutely breathtaking in full bloom - the cascading pink petals really do look like a waterfall of flowers. The atmosphere was peaceful and respectful, with visitors quietly admiring the beauty and history of this 1,000-year-old natural treasure. The surrounding countryside added to the charm, and the locals were so kind and welcoming. Everything was well organized, from parking to walking paths, and there were small food stalls offering local treats. It felt like stepping into a fairytale. We were both deeply moved by the serenity and beauty of the place. If you're in Japan during sakura season, this is an absolute must-see. It’s a memory we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended for couples and nature...

The market area has a great variety of vendors for food, souvenirs and drink. Lot's of varieties of great Sake (not to expensive either!) with free...

The local people have been taking care of the tree. After getting off at Fukushima station, I rent a car and drove to...
