Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I would like to introduce the \u201cCherry Tunnel of Setogawa River\u201d in Fujieda City, which you must visit at least once in spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just hearing the word \u201ccherry blossoms\u201d makes many people excited, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking a leisurely stroll, taking pictures, and walking under the cherry blossoms while the spring breeze blows is the most refreshing thing you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the Setogawa River, there is a cherry blossom viewing spot that is packed with such springtime fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will introduce the actual walking tour and its highlights, as well as how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Sakura Tunnel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Setogawa River flows in a location easily accessible from Fujieda Station (10 minutes by car) or from the city center of Fujieda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the river, there is a spot where cherry blossoms bloom for about 1 km every spring. This is the place locals call “Sakura Tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, cherry trees extend their branches like an arch from both sides, covering the path like a tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking along the road when the cherry trees are in full bloom, you will feel as if you have wandered into a world of cherry blossoms, as your head and feet are tinged with a pale pink color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, this is a walking path with few cars passing by, so it is safe even for those with small children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a peaceful and gentle space where locals walk their dogs, sit on benches to eat their lunch, and spend their time as they please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sakura Tunnel Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Let me introduce some of the highlights that I felt when I actually walked through the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Photo-worthy tunnel arch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First of all, it is beautiful! It looks great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tunnel of cherry blossoms is so picturesque that no matter where you take a picture, you will think, \u201cIs this a postcard?\u201d The soft morning light creates a soft and gentle atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take pictures in the soft morning light, you can create a soft and gentle atmosphere.
Perfect for Instagram! … I don’t do it, though (tears)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, the cherry blossoms illuminated by the setting sun take on a slightly orange tint, creating a different look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended photo spots are on the bridge and at the curves of the road. The cherry blossoms overlap each other to create a three-dimensional effect and give more depth to the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. carpet of petals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think \u201ccarpet of petals\u201d is a bit much, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I visited there after the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I heard some people say that the fallen petals piled up on the ground like a carpet of cherry blossoms! I heard some people say, “It’s like a carpet of cherry blossoms! This time of year, there are fewer people, so it is especially recommended for those who want to take a quiet stroll. The world created by the pink underfoot and the remaining cherry blossoms overhead is somewhat ephemeral and very romantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry blossoms illuminated at night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the past, local people have illuminated the cherry blossoms at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry blossoms illuminated by fantastic lights must be different from those in the daytime. I’d like to see it, wouldn’t you? I’ll tell the elders about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setogawa Cherry Blossom Tunnel” may not be a fancy sightseeing spot.
But for those who want to enjoy spring in peace and quiet, this is the perfect place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like seeing cherry blossoms and feeling relaxed, please take a walk along the Setogawa River in Fujieda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leisurely walk surrounded by cherry blossoms will surely be an unforgettable spring memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
