Get off the train (Hokuso Railway) at Imba Nihon-idai Station and use your Brompton.
It takes about 20 minutes to reach the destination if you follow the route indicated above. As you need to go over some of unpaved roads, I recommend not to use slick tires for biking.
Suddenly you will see the 300-year old great cherry tree in full bloom!
Combination of colors, blue in sky, yellow of rapeseed blossom, and pink of cherry blossom, are perfect for feeling an arrival of the Spring season.
The full bloom only lasts for two or three days. I was lucky.
The field is totally owned by a farmar family whose ancestors developped and cultivated more than three hundred years ago. By courtesy of the farmer family a lot of people come and enjoy Ohanami (cherry‐blossom viewing) of this famous old tree during the period at free of charge!!!
The board tells about the background and history of the tree. If you have a chance, let's go there next spring!
