This water Shangri-La of Gunma prefecture is a hidden treasure that I found out last spring. Minakami has all the things that give one peace. I don't know why this place is so underrated, at least among foreigners, since it's only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would want that everyone visits this place during spring, autumn, or snowy winter. Because this city is unique in every season.

The cherry blossom season has finally arrived! The photo shows a place called the Cherry Blossom Tunnel in Nada Ward, Kobe City. From the immediate vicinity of Maya Cable Station, about 70 Yoshino cherry trees are planted on a slope of about 400 meters from north to south. This was planted at the same time as the opening of the Maya Cable, and it was in full bloom in a tunnel shape. The photo was taken on April 2 last year, but it seems that this year's flowering will be earlier than usual, and it will be in full bloom on March 27 according to the expected bloom on March 21. At the top of the slope, you can see a little bit of Osaka Bay. If you take the Maya View Line from Maya Cable Station to Hoshi Station, you can also go to Kikuseidai, which is famous for its wonderful night view. Now that you have finally decided to wear a mask, why don't you go through the cherry blossom tunnel and feel ? the spring?
