Spring season in Hita is the best opportunity to enjoy Japan’s famous sakura. We took full advantage of the spring in Japan and saw many sakura trees today. 

One type of sakura that we saw today was the Shidare-zakura. In English, it can be translated to “weeping sakura”. The branches on this tree are droopy, hence the name ‘weeping’. The Shidare-zakura was beautiful. In order to enjoy a proper hanami, you should come to Hita and experience all the different types of flowers that bloom in the spring!
