The topography of the mountain rich in a heave and the Kochi inserted in the Pacific Ocean are a natural treasure house. A prefecture also has complete set of colorful tourist spot from a history landmark to a superb view spot with history which prospers as a castle town for the Kochi city in which I take the leading part. It's also blessed with a cherry tree spot and a cherry tree can be enjoyed it by the situation rich in a variety to Sakuranamiki where collaboration and a flower viewing cruise can be enjoyed and one Sakura where I pause in far in the mountains with Meijo.

Horikawa who became the Edo Period and a stoop in a sea under the Kochi castle. Even about 1 km of mouth of a river is left to the east around Ogaya Hashi who has that at the city center (O GA and chopsticks) at present, and Sakuranamiki leads to about 700 m of both banks which are soon. Elijah who is also provided a part esplanade with featuring a northern coast and draws an arch of a cherry tree in the way. Many flower viewing visitors visit and enjoy fine bottom of the sunlight, walk and photography in a flowering period, and I sit down in a bench and taste flower viewing lunch, and if, respectively, in his own way, a cherry tree is being enjoyed fully by a style.

A sightseeing boat is also navigated according to the time of the flower viewing. An area where a cherry tree is planted can see the cherry tree which extends a branch to a surface of the water imminently because the width of a river is small at about 20 m. That it can be satisfied with the storm of falling cherry blossoms which flutters down in the surface of a river can get a bird's-eye view of Sakuranamiki in both banks, and it's also on the water that it can be satisfied with the storm of falling cherry blossoms which flutters down in the surface of a river, well. To be able to enjoy the long distance with dignity while being jolted in the ship calls for 1 hour and advances slowly, and it's also charm to be able to enjoy the long distance with dignity while being jolted in the ship.
