A view of a wave of flowers rushing in

"Gonotanigawa Weeping Cherry Blossoms" Along the Gonotanigawa River that runs next to the Uchiko Branch Office of the Uchiko Town Hall, about 20 cherry trees bloom in a 100-meter stretch. It's a small place, but it's crowded with many cherry blossom viewers when it's in full bloom. It usually reaches its peak from late March to early April. The weeping cherry trees lined the river, stretching their branches out, creating a space that looked like a cherry blossom tunnel. The long branches of the weeping cherry trees hang down over the river, creating a scene that looks like a cherry blossom curtain swaying in the wind. As I walked, the branches stretched out so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch the flowers, which was also fascinating. What was particularly impressive was the feeling that I was surrounded by cherry blossoms wherever I looked. The weeping cherry trees planted on both sides of the river faced each other, creating a scene that looked like a wave of flowers rushing in. ■Business hours: 24 hours ■Address: 1476 Uchiko, Uchiko-cho, Kita-gun, Ehime Prefecture ■Fee: Free ■Parking: Free ※If you are driving, please use the parking lot at the Uchiko Town Hall Uchiko Branch Office #0 yen trip
