Wasegawatate zakura(Estimated duration/24 minutes by car)
This higan-zakura cherry blossom tree can be found at the southern foot of the Tokiwa Castle Ruins, and from the fact that people used to sow rice seeds when its cherry blossoms bloomed in the past, it is also named the seed-sowing cherry blossom tree. You can see it half-way up a slightly elevated mountain after entering a narrow road from National Route 288.
