What’s NewAt Jitensha Hiroba (lit. “biycycle plaza”), Azumino’s famous cherry blossoms can be seen from mid to late April (peak viewing times vary from year to year).
Cherry blossoms, Jikkasegi, an irrigation canal created 200 years ago, shibazakura (a type of phlox), and Mt. Jonen can all be seen at the same time from this excellent location.
It can be a bit difficult to reach since there are no parking lots located nearby.
However, Azumino Share Cycling makes getting to this wonderful location a breeze!
