In front of the Morioka District Court stands a cherry tree that blooms through a crack in solid granite.
Estimated to be around 400 years old,
This Edo-higan cherry tree has been designated a national natural monument.
Its powerful form inspires many with the strength of life it represents.
Located about 1.5 km from our hotel (approximately a 20-minute walk),
this is a perfect stop on your spring stroll through Morioka.
