2025 Ogawara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

During spring, approximately a thousand cherry trees bloom spectacularly, covering the entire mountain like a pink blanket. Along the banks of the Shiroishi River, the cherry trees align beautifully, creating a breathtaking view of thousands of cherry blossoms in full bloom, known as "Hitome Senbonzakura." Every year, from early to late April, the "Shibata Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, attracting over 270,000 visitors from within and outside the prefecture. Additionally, visitors can enjoy hydrangeas in June and July, red spider lilies in September and October, and plum blossoms and daffodils in March. The area offers stunning seasonal flowers all year round. Transportation: From Osaka, you can take a domestic flight to Sendai Airport, with one-way tickets starting from a few hundred yen. The flight takes only two hours. From Sendai Airport, transfer to the subway to reach Sendai Station. Hitome Senbonzakura is located between Funaoka Station and Ogawara Station on the Tohoku Line. After exiting the station, it's just a short walk to the cherry blossom viewing area.

#仙台樱花 Today I’m here to share with you the cherry blossoms in Sendai Ogawara! I went to Sendai Ogawara today. Many cherry blossoms have started to fall. But because of this, when the wind blows, it is really a super beautiful "cherry blossom snow" 😍 Walking along the river bank, it feels like being in a pink fairy tale world, and every step is like stepping on romantic clouds. The petals fluttered down and landed on the shoulders and hair, and I felt like I was surrounded by this beauty. The cherry blossom trees here are lined up one by one, stretching along the river bank. It is really spectacular. There were many people around admiring the cherry blossoms. Everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery and quietly enjoyed the beauty of the moment. I really strongly recommend that you come to Sendai Ogawara to see the cherry blossoms if you have the chance, and feel the dreamlike beauty of "Sakura Blowing Snow". I believe you will be impressed by its beauty💕
