Nawashiro Cherry Blossom Trees

The Nawashiro Cherry Blossom Trees are two giant trees in Wasa, an area of Gero about a 20-minute drive southwest of the town’s center. The trees are 30 and 25 meters tall and measure 4 and 3 meters in diameter, respectively. They are estimated to be around 400 years old. On spring nights when the trees are in bloom, they are illuminated, their reflections in water-filled rice paddies making a special sight.

The trees are named after the paddies in which they are reflected, which are used to grow rice seedlings. The blossoms provided a signal to local farmers that it was time to prepare for the growing season. At the end of their short bloom, the trees’ petals fall beautifully onto the seedling paddies. The Nawashiro trees, which are also known as “calendar cherry blossoms” because of their traditional function, are located in a quiet neighborhood with a few houses and a bubbling stream.

苗代櫻

由下呂鎮中心驅車往西南方向行駛，在約25分鐘車程的和佐地區挺立著被稱為「苗代櫻」的兩棵巨木。大樹分別高達30公尺及25公尺，樹幹周長約為4公尺及3公尺，樹齡估計約有400年。每當春夜櫻花盛開之際，兩棵巨樹會被燈光點亮，在漠漠水田之中投映出優美身影，如夢似幻，美不勝收。

「苗代」就是培育水稻秧苗的秧田，這些水田不僅珍藏了苗代櫻婀娜的身姿，也賦予了它詩意般的美名。當插秧的季節即將到來，綻放的苗代櫻會以花語傳書，通知當地農民為農忙做準備；待到短暫的花期結束，它們又隨風飄落，將秧田精心裝扮。它們靜靜地守望著數間農舍，陪伴著小溪涓流，扮演著告知時曆節氣的角色，因此也被稱為「曆櫻」。
