With Mt. Iwate, known as "Nanbu Katafuji," in the background, Koiwai Farm's single cherry blossoms stand in a vast meadow.
It is an imposing cherry tree with a height of about 20 meters and is said to be more than 100 years old.
The sight of a single cherry blossom blooming dignified against the background of the majestic Mt. Iwate where snow remains is said to be a symbol of spring in Shizukuishi Town.
The contrast between the colorful cherry blossoms and the lush meadows was enough to see the unique scenery of the farm.

Mt. Iwate with residual snow and the cherry blossoms of Koiwai Farm
Koiwai Farm in clear weather, the contrast between the dazzling green and blue sky is impressive. It seems that the snowy Mt. Iwate and the single cherry blossoms tell the beauty of the four seasons of Japan. The composition with the sky as the main one also emphasizes the magnificence.
