SPRING - TOHOKU JAPAN

With its extended geographical length from south to north, Tohoku allows visitors to enjoy cherry blossoms from early April all the way to early May. Abounding with water from the melted snow, mountain hamlets burst with scenes of blooming flowers as pretty as a painting. Many visitors time their trips to coincide with the cherry blossom season, which usually lasts from mid-April to early May.南北に長い東北では４月上旬から５月上旬まで長い期間桜を楽しめる。雪解け水があふれ、山里でいっせいに花が咲き乱れる風景は絵のように美しい。「桜」の見頃は例年４月中旬から５月上旬頃で、それに合わせて旅する人も多い。
