Beautiful cherry blossom trees line the 1 km approach from the stone Otorii big shrine gate to Kayabe Shrine. The trees, over 80 years old, are at their best around mid-April every year. The variety of cherry trees, Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms, double-flowered cherry blossoms, and weeping cherry blossoms, bloom beautifully on both sides of the path, creating a tunnel of cherry blossoms. During the blooming period, local volunteers light up the road with Bonbori lanterns.
