Ippon Zakura (Standing alone big and beautiful cherry trees)
There are many famous or infamous cherry trees in Japan, whose age is usually more than 100 yeas, has big size, and bloom in very beautiful. I visited 4 spots of those trees in 2010. 20- 22 are of "Shiroyama Zakura" in Masuda city, Shimane prefecture which is located on the top of small mountain and there were a castle about 200 yeas ago. "Shiroyama" means "Castle in a mountain". 23 is "Yuki's weeping cherry" that is famous for its well balanced proportion. 24 - 28 are of the weeping cherry in Ryufuku Temple located in Shobara city Hiroshima prefecture. This tree also has well balanced style and getting famous year by year. 29 - 33 are of "Edo-Higan in Mori-Yudani" located in Shobara City, too. Age of the tree is estimated at 300 years and it's very big.
