A hillside tunnel of satoyama cherry trees in Nagatoro that lights up during sakura season—ideal for sweeping blossom-filled panoramas, intimate petal details and people-with-nature portraits. Best visited late March–early April at sunrise or golden hour for warm backlight. Weekday mornings reduce crowds. Access by train to Nagatoro then a short walk; limited parking and narrow paths—respect hanami etiquette and avoid trampling roots.
