Every year in cherry blossom season, they hold the 'Shibata Sakura Festival' in Shibata town in Miyagi prefecture. Surprisingly, in this town you can see beautiful cherry trees EVERYWHERE, and in my opinion each place is good enough to be 'one of the best places' to appreciate cherry trees. However, two of the most prominent places for Sakura viewing in Shibata town would be the Funaoka Castle Park on the hilltop and the endless line of cherry trees which continues for as long as 8 km along Shiroishi River. This is called, '1000 cherry trees at a glance' and is one of the top 100 places noted for cherry blossom viewing in Japan.

There was no one here on the riverside walk!

Cherry trees, greenery, a clear beautiful river, a clear blue sky, the snow-capped Mt. Zao...and...am I the only one viewing all of this beauty?!

Green Shiroishi riverbank, 1000 cherry trees along it and the hill with another 1000 cherry trees....what a luxury!
