[April 10, 2024] It's finally the best time to see them! The Mitake Cherry Blossoms in Misugi, Mie Prefecture are now in full bloom.

Located on the border between Mie and Nara prefectures, Mitake Sakura in Mitake, Misugi-cho, Tsu TsuCity, is a popular cherry blossom spot with a tree-lined path of about 400 wild cherry trees. It has been designated as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots" by the national government, and is a famous cherry blossom spot that marks the end of the cherry blossom viewing season in Mie Prefecture.

Along the 1.5km approach to Shinpuku-in Temple from the Ise Honkaido Highway, old moss-covered trees that evoke a sense of history are blooming in magnificent blossoms, which you can enjoy as you stroll through a tunnel of cherry blossoms. The wild cherry blossoms reflected in the rice paddies beside the approach provide a spectacular view like no other.
