Fukushima Tamura-gun

"This famous cherry tree is considered one of the three most beautiful in Japan. On October 12th, 1922, it was the first cherry tree in the country to be designated a National Natural Monument. 13.5 meters tall and 11.3 meters in root circumference, the huge red weeping cherry tree of Edo-higan cherry group is said to be over 1,000 years old. The tree's name literally translates as ""Three Spring Waterfall Cherry,"" a name it was given because the countless blossoms the tree blooms with in spring, sprouting from branches sprawling in all directions, look like a waterfall."

芭蕉が白川（江戸時代）の関で詠んだ歌がある心許なき日かず重るまゝに、白川の関にかゝりて旅心定りぬ白河の関は東北の入口でここに関所があり、東北へ入る者を監視していたのだとずっと思っていたが、ここを訪れてボランティアガイドのおじさんから、いわゆる江戸時代の箱根の関所のような関ではなく、もっと古く「奥州三古関のひとつに数えられる「白河関」。奈良時代から平安時代頃に機能していた国境の関で、当時は人...
