The "Hitome Senbonzakura" cherry blossoms bloom along the banks of the Shiroishi River, which runs through the center of Ogawara Town and Shibata Town in Shibata County, Miyagi Prefecture, for 8km. The approximately 1,200 cherry tree saplings donated by Kaijiro Takayama in 1923 and 1927 still fascinate us after about 100 years. During the flowering season, the snow-capped Zao mountain range and the rows of cherry trees in full bloom are reflected in the Shiroishi River, creating an exquisite harmony, making this a place that is one of Japan's top 100 cherry blossom viewing spots.

Is it really made from tree bark?! Let's make beautiful tassels using Shinamokko, each one with a different expression! ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ The Japanese linden tree is an indispensable part of the lives of the people of the Sekigawa area of the Atsumi region. After stripping the bark from the tree, Uetsu Shina cloth is made entirely by hand, going through 22 processes over 365 days. The experience of using this precious Shina is unique to this area. Because each strand is a natural fiber with a different expression, it can be made into unique and attractive charms and earrings. It is also nice that the venue is the footbath cafe Chitto Moche, within walking distance of the inn at Atsumi Onsen. After making it, enjoy a relaxing tea time. Of course, the Shinamokko tassels make a great souvenir from your trip.
