Regarding use of photos

Edohigan is a long-lived cherry tree, and in the spring of 14, the Imazu Nature Observation Club conducted a distribution survey in Imazu Town, finding 10 trees in the plains, ranging in age from 400 to 135 years. Among them, the single Edohigan cherry tree that stands tall in the grounds of Sanami-dera Temple, which tells of its founding in the Nara period, is particularly spectacular. It is located at the foot of the mountain on the northern side of the Sanami village. In spring, the Somei-yoshino cherry trees along the approach to the temple also bloom majestically, soothing the eyes of visitors.
