The large Ezoyama cherry tree, commonly known as "Obake Sakura" in Urakawa-cho, Hokkaido, is in full bloom and is entertaining the visitors this year as well.
This cherry tree is located on the ranch grounds of the JRA = Japan Racing Association in Urakawa Town, and is a 16-meter high Ezoyama cherry tree with a trunk circumference of 4.8 meters.
According to Urakawa Town, it has the thickest trunk among the Ezoyama cherry trees registered in Hokkaido and is called "Obake Sakura" in the local area.
With the cooperation of the ranch at the local tourist association, people who visited the venue, including the public, enjoyed taking pictures of the cherry blossoms in full bloom.
A man in his 60s who visited said, "Last year was a mess, but I'm glad that this is much cleaner than last year. I want to come every year."
The cherry blossoms will be open to the public until the 5th of this month, and the tourist association restricts cars from entering the venue, so a free shuttle bus will arrive and depart from the hotel parking lot about 6 kilometers away during the tour. We are calling for the use of.
