🌸Gojo River Cherry Blossom Season｜A Small Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot

#Nagoya Sakura The Gojo River is a small river in northern Aichi Prefecture, 37 kilometers long, flowing through Iwakura City. There are more than 1,400 cherry trees planted on both sides of the river. When they are in full bloom in early April, it turns into a 7.6-kilometer pink tunnel! It has also been officially selected as one of the "100 Famous Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan". The key point is that there are few people! Every shot I take is like a Japanese drama heroine~✨ 🚆 Transportation Direct train: Take the Meitetsu Inuyama Line from Nagoya Station (towards Inuyama) and get off at Iwakura Station. The journey takes 15-20 minutes and the one-way fare is about 350 yen. After exiting the station, follow the signs and walk for 5 minutes to the river! ⚠️ Note: The train runs every 15 minutes, and the last train is around 10pm 🌸 Must-see highlights ✔️ Cherry Blossom Tunnel: There are dense cherry blossom trees on both sides of the river, and you can see the pink ceiling when you look up! It is recommended to walk from Iwakura Station to the starting point of Gojo River Sakura Namiki, where there are few people and beautiful scenery. ✔️ 🎏 Carp streamer washing activity: You can see the traditional "carp streamer washing" during the Cherry Blossom Festival in early April! The locals use river water to wash off the glue on the flags, and the colors instantly become super bright. It is said that this craft has a 400-year history and is very ritualistic. ✔️ 🌙 Night cherry blossom lighting: The lights come on after 6pm, and the cherry blossoms are reflected on the river, super dreamy! But it’s windy at night, remember to bring a jacket~
