The splendor of the giant ancient tree is truly mind-boggling. It is a wonderful sight and, without a doubt, it is the loveliest tree in the country - often mentioned as the number one tree. In fact, it is a national treasure. We visited on April 17 and it was perfect with the blossoms at their peak. We took a very early train from Koriyama along with many others and still we managed to get on the first bus from the train station to the site. As the morning and afternoon progressed big crowds and tour groups arrived. In the early morning we could easily get up close without having to fight our way through throngs of people, later in the day the crowds increased. We went in the early morning to avoid the crowds and trusted the weather forecast which predicted clouds after noon. The forecasters were right, but we got there early enough to see the tree and take hundreds of photos in sun and with fewer visitors. This was a highlight of our 2019 sakura trip. The tree is amazing - the size alone is astonishing but when the tree is covered with masses of blossoms it is truly breathtaking.
