Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture, Tsuru no Mai Bridge Lake Tsugaru Fujimi, where the Tsuru no Mai Bridge is located, has a tragic love story from 600 years ago. At that time, the lord of Kiyomizu Castle Mayamanomori falls in love with Princess Hakusan, whom he met at a house he stopped at while hunting. It is said that the princess, with her long black hair and fair skin, looked like a white lily. However, the owner of the castle changes his mind and marries Kotohime, who was introduced to him by a wealthy farmer. Upon learning of this, Princess Hakusan throws herself into the Great Reservoir, and her remorse turns into a white dragon and curses the castle owner. And the castle owner also threw himself into this reservoir. Thanks to the memorial services of the villagers, this pond has now become a source of water for Tsugaru Shinden and has been blessed with abundant blessings.

Hachirogata Lagoon's "Cherry Blossom and Rape Blossom Road" Hachirogata was reborn as a 17,239-hectare "Land of Hope" in March 1977 after more than 20 years of reclamation work with the aim of alleviating food shortages after World War II. In 1984, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the village's founding, the villagers planted 3,000 cherry trees in three years, and 1,000 cherry trees in commemoration of the 50th anniversary. Rape blossoms were planted by local volunteers. "Thanks" for the masterpiece of Somei Yoshino, Yaezakura, Beniyama cherry blossoms and rape blossom road that stretches for about 11 km! !!

Gorgeous photo! I want to visit the Tottori Sand Dunes so badly. There was a photo of them going around the internet a while back with the covered in snow. It's such a strange concept to me having snow on sand. I, and probably most people as well, generally associate sand dunes and deserts with hot weather so it's really sort of fantastical. I've still never actually experienced that in person, and I lived relatively close to a beach most my life. It always got cold there but didn't snow much, or if it did I just wasn't going anywhere near it I suppose lol. The San'in Region is supposed to be full of really amazing natural scenery though so it seems like it'd be a cool place to visit during the summer or even for golden week or something.
