Yamazakura （山桜）is a late blooming type of cherry tree. Tojo-cho, where I am living now is home to one of the biggest trees of its kinds in Hiroshima Prefecture. The first is Chidori Besshaku which is on the news every year and attracts thousands of people from all over Japan to gaze at its beauty. To get to the tree you have to drive along the very narrow two way Route 12 which is frightening to drive along with rice paddy's on the side with no guard-rail and no room for another car to pass by but is worth it!
