Bukeyashiki Dori with Weeping Cherry Blossoms was full of Japanese Emotion 4.10, 2023

The cherry blossoms are blooming at record-breaking earliness in various places this year, and I can't keep up with making plans to see the cherry blossoms.

While thinking "Let's go here" and "Let's go there", flowers are blooming more and more.

One of the places I want to go to see cherry blossoms, Bukeyashiki(Samurai Residence) Dori(street) in Kakunodate, Semboku City, Akita Prefecture, was already in half bloom when I checked the cherry blossoms information.

Kakunodate is about an hour and a half by car from my house. I hurried to see it.

Kakunodate's Bukeyashiki Dori has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and the weeping cherry trees are also designated as a natural protected species.

The pale pink cherry blossoms that shine against the blue sky are very Japanese. Then the black wooden walls are added to it, you can really feel the atmosphere of a samurai drama stage.

It was a day full of Japanese emotions.
