The "Hitome Senbonzakura" cherry blossoms on the banks of the Shiroishi River, which runs through the center of Ogawara Town and Shibata Town in Shibata County, Miyagi Prefecture, stretch for 8km. The approximately 1,200 cherry tree saplings donated by Takayama Kaijiro in 1923 and 1927 still fascinate us today, some 100 years later.
