Fukushima Prefecture has one of the three most famous cherry blossoms in Japan, and there are several cherry blossom spots worth seeing, but this time I would like to introduce the "Nicchu Line Weeping Cherry Trees" in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture. [About the Nicchu Line Weeping Cherry Trees] This spot is a promenade created on part of the abandoned tracks of the former Japan National Railways Nicchu Line, and is one of the largest weeping cherry tree spots in Japan, with 1,000 weeping cherry trees planted along the 3-kilometer promenade🌸 It is so popular that it competes for first and second place as a "cherry blossom spot you want to visit" all over the country✨ You can walk along the promenade while being showered with weeping cherry blossoms, making you feel like you've entered a fantastical world😍 There is also a steam locomotive along the promenade, which you can see and take photos of with the weeping cherry blossoms🚂 During the cherry blossom festival, it is lit up, so you can see the fantastic sight at night! ・Cherry Blossom Festival Period: April 5th - 24th, 2024 ・Illumination Period: April 12th - 21st, 2024 ・Illumination Time: 18:30 - 20:00 [Tips for Photography] You can't take a photo like the cherry blossom tunnel in the top image by taking a normal photo. 🙅 This is because the cherry blossoms don't reach the center of the promenade. 🧐 The way to take a photo is to zoom in closer to the edge, as the cherry blossoms hang low on the sides of the promenade! By doing this, you can take a photo that looks like the whole thing is covered in cherry blossoms, so give it a try! [Recommended Gourmet] -------- When you think of Kitakata, you think of "Kitakata Ramen" 🍜 You can't help but come to the original place and try it 🙅 When it comes to Kitakata Ramen, a recommended ramen shop within walking distance of the cherry blossom trees is "Matsu Shokudo" The difference between this ramen shop and other ramen shops is the char siu 🍖 If you like char siu, this is the place for you! The most popular is "Sakauchi Shokudo", but I don't recommend it because there is a crazy line 😅 Opening hours: 10:00-16:00 *Ends when soup runs out Reference menu: Char siu noodles 1,000 yen -------- That's it! What do you think? This is definitely worth going to! 〜〜〜〜〜Information〜〜〜〜〜 📍Nicchu Line Weeping Cherry Trees ・Address: 8455-2 Senkari Nakamichikami, Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture ・Access: 6 minutes walk from Kitakata Station on the Ban'etsu West Line ・Opening hours: 24 hours ・Admission fee: Free 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 #Sakura2024 #Japan's Greatest Views #Fukushima Tourism #Weeping Cherry Blossoms
