About 1km north from the Kaizu Osaki Namikiguchi, in the Kaizu cemetery, there is an old tree called "Shozu no Sakura". The tree is an Azuma Higanzakura. It is said to be over 1 years old, and is praised in the novel "Sakura Mori" by Tsutomu Mizukami. It is also called "Mikaeri no Sakura" (the cherry tree in return) because Lord Maeda of the Kaga domain admired this tree many times when he visited Kyoto. It reaches full bloom a little earlier than the Kaizu Osaki cherry trees.
