Oyamazakura is located in a corner of Kamegamori Pasture at an altitude of 800m. It’s pasture, so cows graze there. It is prohibited to enter the area around the single cherry tree. This is private property, so please enjoy viewing it from a distance. *Since flower buds are not seen at the tips of the main branches, it seems that flowering cannot be expected as before.
