The Sewaritei River Bank in Yawata, Kyoto Prefecture, is a stunning riverside area famous for its breathtaking cherry blossom tunnel. Located along the banks of the Kizu River, it features a 1.4 km stretch lined with hundreds of sakura trees, making it one of the Kansai region’s top hanami (flower-viewing) spots. During peak bloom in spring, the area transforms into a picturesque pink corridor, attracting visitors for leisurely walks, picnics, and photography.
Hanami has existed in Japan since the 9th century as one of the leading entertainment events in the Imperial Palace garden. This event has become popular among the Imperial family, the nobles, and the samurai classes.
In the Edo Period (1603 – 1868), Hanami developed as an entertainment for the common people. Many beautiful places were established all over Japan.
