About this place

Cherry trees in Shokawa-cho, Takayama. Two giant cherry trees, Azuma higan cherries more than 500 years old, stand at the observation deck on the shore of Lake Miboro, the reservoir of Miboro Dam. They were in the grounds of Shoren-ji and Korin-ji temples, which sank to the bottom of the lake, and were transplanted. The blooming period and best time is from late April to early May. No fee.
