What an amazing tree! It makes sense that it's called the "Waterfall Cherry." I can totally see the resemblance in how the cherry blossoms hang down like that. Interesting that there's actually a "Three Great Cherry Blossoms Trees of Japan." I'd really love to go see this and Usuzumizakura in Gifu and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi. It's incredible to think that even after more than 1,000 years this cherry tree is still standing and is just like a fine wine in that it gets even better with age. There's so much beautiful natural scenery in Japan to see. I wonder what the sky is like here at night. I bet you can probably see a lot of stars from here

Takizakura in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, is one of the three major cherry blossoms in Japan. It is the first famous cherry tree to be designated as a national natural monument.
It is an old tree with red branches and drooping cherry trees that are said to be over 1,000 years old, but when it bloomed in full bloom, it looked like a waterfall flowing down in layers.
On the day I visited, the locals said that the conditions were the best, and the blue sky, vivid rape blossom colors, and cherry blossoms in full bloom made me enjoy the spring splendour.
It is said that he said, "To the capital, I can hear the sound, takizakura, invite iroka, and the spring breeze of flowers."
