[2025 Maebashi Attraction] Travel Guide for Akagi south Senbonzakura (Updated Apr)

#cherryblossom25 Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura is what cherry blossom dreams are made of. Tucked in Gunma Prefecture at the southern base of Mt. Akagi, this place is a 1.3 km stretch lined with over 1,000 cherry trees, and it literally feels like walking through a pink tunnel. I came here because someone tagged it in #cherryblossom25 and I knew I had to see it for myself. There’s something magical about being surrounded by blossoms on both sides — and Mt. Akagi looming gently in the background only adds to the dramatic scenery. There was a local festival going on too, with food stalls selling everything from miso konjac to sakura-flavored mochi. The air was filled with the scent of flowers and festival food — not a bad combo. It’s a bit of a trip from Tokyo, but if you’re a blossom chaser like me, it’s 100% worth it. This was a major highlight of #cherryblossom25!

#cherryblossom2024 The weather is good, the wind is calm, and there are quite a few people, making it a perfect day for cherry blossom viewing.🌸 It feels like a picnic.🥳 There are probably more than 1,000 cherry blossoms in full bloom, and it looks like a preview screening of the stage (venue) to show off to the onlookers.🌸🤩 Spectators have time to refresh themselves. I was enjoying the spring season to the fullest at the Senbonzakura Festival venue.☀️ Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be quite crowded as it is the final weekend, and there will be heavy traffic as we enter the parking lot in front of the venue. It might be a good idea to start early.🌸
