Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture is calling for cooperation through “Crowd Funding”, which raises funds through the Internet, in order to maintain a cherry blossom spot where you can enjoy blooming flowers against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji and the five-storied pagoda.

“Shinkurayama Asama Park” in Fujiyoshida City is planted with about 650 Yoshino cherry trees, and is visited by many people from Japan and abroad as a place to enjoy cherry blossoms against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji and the five-storied pagoda.

However, 50 years have passed since tree planting, and the lifespan of about 60 years is approaching, and there are trees where the number of flowers has been reduced due to the soil being crushed at the base, which declined in the survey conducted by the city last year 90% of trees were judged to be.

For this reason, the city has begun an effort to call for cooperation to maintain the cherry blossom sights through “cloud funding”, which raises the necessary funds through the Internet.

The funds collected will be used for branching, adding fertilizer, and replanting cherry trees. The website “Rakuten Furusato Tax Payment” will be accepted until the end of this month, and depending on the amount, you will receive a return.
