2022.03.29

The Tamayu River, which flows in front of the hot spring inn “Kai Izumo” with an open-air bath in all rooms in Shimane’s Tamatsukuri Onsen, is one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Shimane Prefecture, where about 400 cherry blossoms bloom over 2km on both banks in the spring. .. We will operate a rickshaw from 20:00 when the sun goes down so that you can have a special cherry blossom viewing that is different from usual.

From 20:00 after dinner, we will operate a rickshaw to enjoy the cherry blossoms at night for the first time in this area. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night without being overwhelmed by the time as you take a rickshaw and slowly go around the Tamayu River for about an hour.

In addition, the rickshaw will be decorated with special lanterns. At the shooting point on the way, the car owner will help you take a picture, so you can leave a memorable photo with a special rickshaw and cherry blossoms in full bloom.
