Sendai, Japan | Hitome Senbonzakura Along the Shiroishi River — Absolutely Breathtaking!

#cherryblossom25 One of the most stunning cherry blossom spots in the Tohoku region — this is where spring turns into poetry. What Makes It Special: Over 1,200 cherry trees stretch along the Shiroishi River embankment, creating a dreamy sakura tunnel that seems to go on forever. When the petals fall into the river, it looks like a floating pink carpet. Pure magic. Main Viewing Spot: Location: Between Ōgawara Town and Shibata Town, Miyagi Prefecture Best Viewing Time: Around mid-April (varies slightly each year) Nearby Places to Explore: Funaoka Castle Ruins Park: Great for history lovers and panoramic sakura views from the hillside. Nijūshin Weir (Nijushinzeki): Serene river scenery, perfect for a quiet stroll away from the crowds. Tips for Visiting: Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and catch the best soft light for photos. Bring a bento and enjoy a riverside picnic under the blossoms. If you’re in Tohoku during sakura season, Hitome Senbonzakura is a must-see. #travel
