The concept of the “lone sakura tree” is well sought after in Japan, but this one, standing dignified against a magnificent backdrop provided by Mt. Iwate, is particularly famous. In warmer months it can be seen alongside cows out to pasture, providing an especially pleasant view for cyclists as they coast down nearby bike trails. The Yakehashiri Lava Flow and Hachimantai Onsen-kyo, among other hot spring and tourist highlights can be found nearby.
