One cherry tree in Tamenai
A single cherry tree blooms majestically on a small hill with a distant view of Mt. The single cherry tree, which was left behind when the shrine was relocated to the former site of the shrine, blooms beautifully every year, delighting people's eyes. It is not known when it was planted, but it is believed to have been a sacred tree. It became widely known as a filming location for the movie "Operetta Raccoon Goden," starring Odagiri Joe, and is visited by flower-viewers from within and outside of the prefecture. On a clear day, the contrast with the blue sky is spectacular!
