The Miharu Takizakura is considered by many as the single most beautiful cherry tree in Japan. It is located in Miharu, a town in central Fukushima. “Takizakura” literally means “waterfall cherry tree” in Japanese; a fitting name as the 12 meter tall tree’s wide drooping branches spread out over 20 meters east-west and 18 meters north-south, making it appear like a cascading waterfall. The tree is estimated to be over a thousand years old and its trunk has a girth of 9.5 meters.
Around mid to late April every year, the Miharu Takizakura reaches the peak of its flowering season and hundreds of thousands visit to admire its cherry blossoms. Despite the size of the crowds, human traffic is usually well regulated and the process of touring around the tree is thereby kept smooth and pleasant. Visitors are advised to go as early as possible though, as roads leading to the location can get extremely congested.
日本三大桜に数えられる滝桜は、大正11年10月12日に、桜の木としては初めて国の天然記念物に指定された名木です。
開花期には四方に伸びた枝から、薄紅色の小さな花を無数に咲かせ、その様はまさに流れ落ちる滝のように見えることから「滝桜」と呼ばれるようになったとも言われています。
