[2025 Iwakura Attraction] Travel Guide for Cherry Trees along the Gojo River bank (Updated Mar)

The Gojo River is a grade A river that flows through Oguchi-cho, Konan City, and Iwakura City in western Aichi Prefecture. It originates from Tajimi City in Gifu Prefecture. The Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival is held during cherry blossom season. The cherry trees converging on both sides of the river are a beautiful sight, and the river has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan". In addition, there are important events during the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival, such as the parade of floats and the performance of "Nonbori Arai", where the glue used to make the patterns of carp streamers is washed away in the river, making the place crowded with people. When the cherry blossoms fall, the surface of the river is covered with petals, and the sight of these petals slowly floating is amazing. 🚃Access Take the Meitetsu Nagoya Station Line and get off at Iwakura Station.

#nagoyasakura I finally succeeded in catching up with the cherry blossoms at Iwakura Gojo River in Nagoya. They are so beautiful that I am speechless. As soon as I got off the car, I was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms here, with different colors layered on top of each other, pure white and delicate pink, interweaving to create a dreamlike spring picture. As the breeze blows, the petals fall, as if a romantic flower rain is falling. Transportation is super convenient. You can take the subway from Nagoya Station to Iwakura Station.

#名古屋樱花 The weather has been great in the past week, and the cherry blossoms at Iwakura Gojo River near Nagoya are in full bloom! 🌸 Today I went to Iwakura Gojo River, a suburb of Nagoya. It only takes 15 minutes to get there by express train from Nagoya Station. Walk toward the river for about five minutes after exiting Iwakura Station, and you will see a large area of ​​cherry blossoms. Strictly speaking, there aren't many people here, so it's a great place to get up close and personal with the beautiful cherry blossoms. The Cherry Blossom Avenue is super long. In addition to cherry blossoms, there are also large areas of rapeseed flowers in full bloom. It is really beautiful! The riverside is full of people having picnics and enjoying the spring time. If you are tired from playing, you can also buy a cute Taiyaki or a soft dango in the shopping street to fill your stomach🍡 📍 Iwakura Station

The Gojo River in Iwakura City (Aichi), Aichi Prefecture, has about 1,400 cherry trees lining the river, with a length of about 7.5 km. Every year during cherry blossom season, the “Iwakura Sakura Festival” is held. During this Japanese festival, traditional rickshaws are displayed, and there is also a “nonbori-arai” on the river. “Nonbori-arai” is a koi flag that is washed with glue in the river, symbolizing the growth of a boy, and is called “koinobori”. In Iwakura City, there is a long-established shop that produces koi flags. This is a great photo spot where you can enjoy traditional Japanese culture and cherry blossoms at the same time. When the flowers are in full bloom, the petals float down to the surface of the water. The farewell of spring with the pink covering the river will be the last image that will remain in the unforgettable memory. 🗓️Event date 29.03.2024 - 07.04.2024 💴Admission Free 🚃Getting there From Nagoya Station Take the Meitetsu Nagoya Line to Iwakura Station, walk for 6 minutes. #Sakura2024 #TravelJapan #Sakura
