The 1,000 Cherry Blossom Trees of the Yamanakadani Valley
Cherry blossoms paint the historic district pink in spring, when approximately 1,000 somei yoshino cherry blossom trees open their flowers along the Yamanaka River. The quaint scenery of the old Kishu Kaido highway takes on a different form in spring. The cherry blossoms greet you from the moment you hop off the train at Yamanakadani Station. As you stroll the streets, you can also admire the weeping cherry trees at Jifuku-ji Temple. The nighttime illuminations create a fantastical scene around the valley's cherry blossoms, enveloping you in a spectacle of light and color beside the riverbanks. Join exciting events such as the Yamanakadani Valley Cherry Blossom Festival at Wanpaku Okoku, a children's park near JR Yamanakadani Station where admission is free.

There are many wonderful reasons to visit Hannan: the cherry blossoms in the Yamanakadani Valley, the beach at Hakotsukuri, Hata Shrine, local industries such as fishing, agriculture, and craft sake brewing, a historic district, along with several other facets of historical and cultural interest amid the rich natural surroundings.
