À propos de ce lieu: Cerisier de Komatsunagi
Cerisier Edohigan de plus de 400 ans dans le village Achi. Selon la légende, Minamoto no Yoshitsune y aurait attaché son cheval. Solitaire au bord des rizières en terrasses, en pleine floraison mi-fin avril, son reflet sous les étoiles est un cerisier solitaire emblématique de Nagano.
Points forts
- About 400-year-old Edohigan Cherry — 20 m tall, a Nagano Prefecture Natural Monument linked to the Minamoto no Yoshitsune legend
- Paddy Reflection — when paddies flood for planting in mid-to-late April, the cherry mirrors perfectly on the water
- Stars and Cherry at Night — Achi Village holds Japan's «No.1 starry sky» certification; the Milky Way at new moon paired with cherry blossoms is unforgettable
- Pre-Dawn Twilight — the blue hour before sunrise, when crowds are absent and the cherry's silhouette is most beautiful
- Nearby Trails — beyond Komatsunagi, Achi Village offers other cherry spots like Kurahaku Falls Cherry and the Namiai Checkpoint ruins
