SPOT
Shiokari Pass Hitome Senbonzakura
Shiokari Pass has long been known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and in mid-May, under the clear May sky, approximately 1,600 Ezoyama cherry trees cover the entire pass, boasting their beauty.
There are also cherry trees planted on both sides of the road from Shiokari to Minamioka Forest Park, about 14km round trip, so why not try walking along the road?
■ JR special train operation
In mid-May, JR will also operate special trains, and Shiokari Pass will be bustling with cherry blossom viewers. (Since the special trains are organized by JR, those who wish to participate must apply in advance.)
