Jikkoku-bune boat of Kyoto Fushimi commands the particularly beautiful scene of cherry blossom in spring. What's more, the scenery of the boat going between the cherry blossom raft which appears when they're out of bloom on the water surface, is amazing! People can enjoy this scenery for a while even after the cherry blossoms fall.

Hikone Castle is a popular cherry blossom spot in Shiga. When the blossoms begin to fall, many rafts of petals appear on the moat and make the cherry blossom reflections more beautiful. If you want to take photos, after the lights-out is better than when it's lighted. There're less people and you can take the whole cherry blossom equally in your photos without going whitish. You're encouraged to come to Shiga!

A small stream with esplanades located at a quiet residential area. In spring, it becomes a great hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spot combining cherry blossom tunnel, flower raft (floating fallen petals on the water are called like this), reflections, and even carp. There're everything that fascinate the fans of cherry blossom!◎It's located at the rear of a cafe 'creer'. You can see cherry blossom reflections on the water at night!
