Matabē Zakura has become famous since it used in NHK's TV series. It's a weeping cherry blossom tree as tall as over 10 meters! What's more, can you believe that the tree is 300 years old! When we look up from its foot, the cherry blossoms are really amazing! There're also other flowers like daffodil around the tree, so we can see beautiful yellow and pink scenery.
