Miharu Takizakura

Miharu Takizakura is a thousand-year-old weeping cherry tree in Fukushima that stands as one of Japan's three great sakura. Its cascading branches stretch 20 meters across, producing over 50,000 blossoms that create a waterfall of pink petals. The tree's age and resilience, surviving the 2011 earthquake, make it a symbol of endurance. Peak bloom in mid-April offers a rare chance to see a living monument that predates many castles.
