In this tour we’ll take you to some of the best cherry blossom sites in Yame, including the tunnel of sakura trees at Muryojuin Temple, the long line of sakura trees at Yabe River, and the sakura by the stone bridge at Kitagawachi Park. Lunch and a Yame tea preparing workshop are included. Starts at Nishitetsu Kurume Station. ¥5,000/person.
Two of the stars of spring, cherry blossoms and nanohana in one spot! See the contrasting brilliant yellow and soft pink.
The sakura trees lining both sides of the path form a magical tunnel of cherry blossoms. A great place to take photos!
Enjoy a lunch made with local vegetables and seasonal fish at Kigokoro Kuboyama.
After learning to prepare Yame tea, we’ll sip some tea and enjoy an Amaou strawberry parfait!
Some 600 someiyoshino sakura trees against the backdrop of a stone bridge make Kitagawachi Park a special sight. In the evening they are lit up and the view is even more spectacular!
Enjoy a panoramic view of this 70-hectare tea plantation, which spreads out in front of you like a green carpet.
