• Nishino, Ogata, Minamiakita District, Akita 010-0455, Japan
The approximately 11km straight road passing through Ogata Village in Akita Prefecture shows a fantastic landscape like a painting every year from late April to early May. The yellow of the rape blossoms spreading across the field and the pink cherry blossoms along the roadside harmonize beautifully, creating a vivid contrast against the blue sky.
This "Cherry Tree-lined and Rapeseed Flower Road" has become a popular scenic spot even among the locals. From the car window or by bicycle, you can experience an extraordinary, almost unreal scenery as if driving through a painting. On clear days, the beauty is enhanced, and you will be captivated by the numerous natural art pieces while surrounded by a sweet fragrance.
However, the popularity of this scenic spot has become nationwide, and it tends to get crowded with tourists during the Golden Week, so it is recommended to visit in the early morning. As the parking space is limited, it is wise to plan ahead, such as using public transportation. A little preparation is worth it to be enchanted by the momentary beauty.
On this road, along with the changes of nature, you can also discover small pleasures. The sight of cherry blossom petals dancing in the wind, or finding small insects visiting the field of rapeseed flowers, the true joy of the journey is hidden all around.
The "Cherry Tree-lined and Rapeseed Flower Road" is a popular scenic spot, yet it maintains a gentle and elegant atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the once-in-a-lifetime view, and experience the wonderful natural art pieces. It will be a fantastic experience.
