Kobo cherry blossoms in Nanatsuda

The Kobo cherry tree, which is designated as a natural monument in Shizukuishi Town, is an Edohigan cherry tree that is approximately 800 years old. It is said that when Kobo Daishi visited this area a long time ago, he used a cherry blossom branch as a walking stick and it took root, and it blooms beautifully around Golden Week every year.

Komagatake

It is located at the southernmost tip of Towada-Hachimantai National Park and straddles both Akita and Iwate prefectures. The mountain's name comes from the legend that a horse can be seen appearing on the mountainside during the lingering snow in early summer. It is a treasure trove of diverse volcanic topography and hundreds of species of alpine plants, including dicentra.
