At Ichimoku Senbonzakura, a famous cherry blossom spot in Miyagi Prefecture, the cherry blossom festival scheduled to be held from the 1st was canceled due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but local people wearing masks are blooming. I came to see the cherry blossoms I started.
The row of cherry blossom trees along the Shiraishi River that flows through Ogawara and Shibata towns in Miyagi Prefecture is one of the most famous cherry blossom spots in the Tohoku region, called "Ichimoku Senbonzakura".
Of these, Okawaramachi was planning to hold the “Ogawara Cherry Blossom Festival” from the 1st, but to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, we stopped opening stalls and illuminating night cherry blossoms. We are calling for self-restraint.
On the other hand, since there is no restriction on entering the riverbed, locals and others were watching the cherry blossoms that had begun to bloom while masking and leaving a distance from the surrounding area.
A 60-year-old man living nearby said, "I came to see me with a mask and a walk. I couldn't stop the festival, but I wanted more people to see the cherry blossoms." .
A man in his 40s, who came from Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture with his family, said, "If there were a lot of cherry blossom visitors, I thought about seeing the cherry blossoms in a car, but I didn't have that much so I came to see outside. I'm happy to see it blooming neatly. "
