The two kilometer row of cherry trees along the riverbank at the left side of Hinokinai River makes a gorgeous tunnel of cherry blossoms. These are Yoshino cherry trees that were planted to commemorate the birth of the 125th Emperor (the present Emperor Emeritus). The number of trees is 400, and it was designated as a nationally famous place in 1975. It was also selected as the top 100 famous places for cherry blossoms along with the cherry trees of the Samurai residence in 1990. It has received three major prizes for cherry blossoms which is quite rare. The Weeping cherry trees, a nationally-designated natural monument, line both sides of the road from Omotemachikamicho where samurai residences are located to Higashi Katsuraku Cho. These trees stand out against the Yakuimon Gate and the black fences. The Samurai residence always presents a stunning view with the Weeping cherry trees in any season.
