Cherry blossom viewing experience at Tamagawa Embankment in Itemachi
The density of cherry blossoms and the length of the road on the Tamagawa Embankment are not as good as those of the Sabo River in Nara. The cherry blossoms that stretch for more than 1 kilometer are actually quite worth seeing. Especially Itemachi is a rural town, and there will be no vendors and restaurants along the coast. Only many local people have picnics and activities. The advantage is that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms quietly, which is very suitable for people who don't like too many tourists.
Because there are no restaurants or lively sightseeing spots along the Tamagawa Embankment, it is also recommended to prepare some drinks and snacks by yourself, and come directly to have a picnic under the cherry blossom trees along the Tamagawa Embankment.In addition, many lanterns are hung on the banks of the western half of the Tamagawa Embankment, so there are also night lighting activities. If you come in the evening, you can also spend more time and stay to see the beauty of the night lighting.
