A Thousand Blossoms, One Magical Road — Akagi Senbonzakura Dreamscape

At Akagi Senbonzakura in Gunma, the road to Mount Akagi transforms into a floral fairytale during sakura season. With over 1,000 cherry trees lining both sides of the 1.3 km stretch, you’re literally driving or strolling through a tunnel of soft pink petals. Beyond the blossom canopy, vibrant nanohana (rapeseed flowers) fields burst with golden hues, creating a breathtaking contrast. This lesser-known gem is peaceful, scenic, and incredibly photogenic—ideal for those chasing serenity over crowds. Whether you’re here for a scenic drive, a picnic under the blooms, or simply a quiet pause, it’s a #cherryblossom25 highlight you won’t forget.
