Tourist attraction • Ōsone-57-53 Tōnichō, Kamaishi, Iwate 026-0121, Japan
The Osonae district in Tangtancho, Kamaishi City, is home to an approximately 800-meter-long cherry blossom avenue, blanketed in delicate pink petals when spring arrives. The cherry blossom tunnel, harmonizing with the historic townscape, creates a fantastical scenery as if entering another world.
While strolling along the cherry blossom avenue, be sure to take a moment to appreciate the backstreet scenery. The view of redbrick houses and laundry hanging among the cherry blossoms promises an extraordinary experience in a space that doesn't feel like a tourist attraction.
The cherry blossoms in Osonae usually reach their peak around mid-April. This period often coincides with the Cherry Blossom Festival, featuring stage performances and stalls, offering a lively day in spring. Visitors can also enjoy the contrasting colors of the historic townscape and the fresh greenery.
A 15-minute drive from the nearest JR Kamaishi Station. With parking available, it is recommended to visit by car. Exploring on foot allows for a better appreciation of the area's charm.
