Gojo River Cherry Blossom Promenade
The Gojo River rises in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, and flows through towns and cities in Aichi Prefecture such as Oguchi Town, Konan City, and Iwakura City. Around Iwakura City, it runs through the urban area, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Approx. 1,300 cherry trees in full bloom lining both riverbanks for Approx. 7.6 km. In Iwakura City, the “Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival” is held every year from late March to early April to coincide with cherry blossom season. At night, the trees are illuminated, and the fully blooming cherry blossoms glowing in the dark are breathtaking.
Super romantic! The entire riverbank is packed with cherry trees, and when they bloom in spring it feels like you’re walking through a pink tunnel—so magical.
The river reflects the blossoms, and honestly, every photo turns out great. Around sunset especially, with the golden light and the sakura, the atmosphere is 10/10. Perfect for a stroll or a date.
