Weeping Peach Blossoms of Kaminaka (Kaminaka no Shidare Momo)
Early to mid-April
Approximately 3,000 weeping peaches flourish in the Asahi District's Kaminaka-cho. The walking paths in the area are lined with beautiful weeping peach blossoms for about 1 kilometer. Early to mid April is usually the best time to view the flowers, though they can bloom at different times in some years.
