About this place
The Usuzumi-zakura, or Neodani Usuzumi-zakura, is a solitary cherry tree in Neodani-Usuzumi Park in Motosu, Gifu Prefecture. It is an old Edo-higan cherry more than 1,500 years old, and a Natural Monument of Japan. Because there is also a cultivar called Usuzumi (light ink) in the narrow sense of the Sato-zakura group, care is needed not to confuse the two. It is counted as one of Japan's Three Great Taki-zakura together with the Miharu Takizakura (Fukushima Prefecture) and the Yamataka Jindai-zakura, and with the Ishido Gama-zakura (Saitama Prefecture) and the Karijuku Geba-zakura (Shizuoka Prefecture) added, it is also called the Five Great Cherry Trees of Japan.
