A long riverside corridor of densely packed cherry trees (mostly Yoshino) along the Shinkawa River near Yachiyo. Best shots come from looking straight down the tree-lined waterway for leading lines, plus reflections on calm sections. Visit for hanami season (late March–early April); mornings give softer light and fewer families. Free to enter; expect crowds on weekends. Arrive by train/bike for easiest access—nearby parking can fill quickly.
