Arch of Cherry Blossoms
Sakura no Torinuke has cherry trees planted close together on both sides. So when they are in full bloom, it seems as if you are going through a natural arch of cherry blossoms. Different tones of white and pink create a beautiful gradation, and the fully blooming flowers are absolutely stunning.
