Gojo River IWAKURA AICHI🌸🌸

The Gojo River in Iwakura City (Aichi), Aichi Prefecture, has about 1,400 cherry trees lining the river, with a length of about 7.5 km. Every year during cherry blossom season, the “Iwakura Sakura Festival” is held. During this Japanese festival, traditional rickshaws are displayed, and there is also a “nonbori-arai” on the river. “Nonbori-arai” is a koi flag that is washed with glue in the river, symbolizing the growth of a boy, and is called “koinobori”. In Iwakura City, there is a long-established shop that produces koi flags. This is a great photo spot where you can enjoy traditional Japanese culture and cherry blossoms at the same time. When the flowers are in full bloom, the petals float down to the surface of the water. The farewell of spring with the pink covering the river will be the last image that will remain in the unforgettable memory. 🗓️Event date 29.03.2024 - 07.04.2024 💴Admission Free 🚃Getting there From Nagoya Station Take the Meitetsu Nagoya Line to Iwakura Station, walk for 6 minutes. #Sakura2024 #TravelJapan #Sakura
