No.92 Weeping Cherry Tree at Taya
Ipponzakura literally means one (ippon) cherry tree (zakura). The Taya no Ipponzakura is a large weeping shidarezakura more than 100 years old located in the Taya district of Yamagata Prefecture. Nestled in a quiet farming area in the mountains on the bank of a pond, the spot is a hidden gem among sakura fans. The weeping shidarezakura reflected on the calm water looks like an impressionist painting and is popular among photographers.
