In addition to 'Sakuragi Hanamichi' in Kamakura, Japan, there is also an 'Ancient Cherry Blossom Trail'

Facing the red torii gate of 'Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine', there is a pedestrian walkway that is over one meter above the ground. The base on both sides is built with black stones, and the middle is filled with finely compacted yellow soil, which has been trodden for a thousand years, making it even flatter and harder than a cement surface. The trees lining the path are Japan's national trees, the cherry blossoms. Even when it's not cherry blossom season, the branches form a green canopy, creating an atmosphere that is very quaint and refreshing. At the other end, there is another red torii gate, flanked by a large stone lion on each side. This is the starting point of the ancient trail, and also the place where people from the ancient capital would start their pilgrimage to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine a thousand years ago. The roads and sidewalks on both sides are bustling with people, but this place remains very quiet.
