Nawashiro Cherry Blossoms
"This Gifu Prefecture designated Natural Monument has been selected as one of the Top 33 Spots to View Cherry Blossom in the Hida-Mino region. The two stand close together on a small hill across Yamato Bridge in the Wasa district. They are about 400 years old. The name comes from the practice of local farmers who would start preparing their rice nurseries (nawashiro) when the trees were in full bloom. As such, they were also called the ""Calendar Cherry Trees."" They're at their peak from early to mid-April. They are illuminated at night during this period when visitors come from near and far for the wonderful sight of the cherry blossoms reflected in the rice paddies."
