#Nagoya Sakura You can enjoy cherry blossoms right in the city of Nagoya! The north-south road that spans Izumi 2-chome and 3-chome in Higashi-ku is the famous early cherry blossom spot, the Okan Sakura Boulevard. There are about 130 cherry trees, the light pink ones are Okan Sakura, and the deep red and purple ones are Kanhi Sakura. The 1.4-kilometer-long Osaka Cherry Blossom Avenue stretches from Sakura-dori-Izumi 2-chome intersection to the north of Yoshino 2 intersection. Vehicles and people passing through it contrast beautifully with the sea of ​​cherry blossom trees on the sidewalk, creating a beautiful scene of a spring day. Transportation to cherry blossom viewing in the city is convenient. From Nagoya Station, take the Sakuradori Line to Takagake Station, which takes about 5 minutes. Exit from Exit 2 and turn left at the Sakuradori Izumi 2-chome intersection to reach Osaka Cherry Blossom Boulevard. #Nagoya

Higashi Ward's Ookanzakura Tree-Lined Avenue has had its branches pruned so it no longer looks as impressive as it once did, but the nectar from the cherry blossoms is a precious spring gift for the birds. This area is close to Shirakabe, said to be an upscale residential area even in Nagoya, and is home to Sakichi Toyoda's former home, Futabakan, and a famous Japanese restaurant, although I've never been there. This area is also one of the most upscale residential areas in Nagoya, and the people who live here (Madames) are called "Shirakabeze." Incidentally, the people who live in Yagoto, another upscale residential area, are called "Yagotojenne."
