What an amazing tree! It makes sense that it's called the "Waterfall Cherry." I can totally see the resemblance in how the cherry blossoms hang down like that. Interesting that there's actually a "Three Great Cherry Blossoms Trees of Japan." I'd really love to go see this and Usuzumizakura in Gifu and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi. It's incredible to think that even after more than 1,000 years this cherry tree is still standing and is just like a fine wine in that it gets even better with age. There's so much beautiful natural scenery in Japan to see. I wonder what the sky is like here at night. I bet you can probably see a lot of stars from here

福島県三春町の瀧桜は、日本三大桜のひとつ。桜として初めて国の天然記念物に指定された名木です。
樹齢は1,000年を超えると言われる紅枝垂桜の老木ですが、満開の花を咲かせた様は、正に重層に流れ落ちる滝のように見えました。
訪れた日は、地元の人も最高の条件と言う程で、青空と鮮やかな菜の花の色と満開の桜は、春爛漫を満喫させるものでした。
「都まで、音に聞こえし、瀧桜、いろ香を誘え、花の春風」と詠まれたとのことです。
