Cherry blossom lingo: a tunnel of cherry blossoms

One of my favorite cherry blossom sights is a tunnel of cherry blossoms. A tunnel of cherry blossoms is where the blossoms of two lines of facing cherry blossom tree's meet at the top creating an arch and thus a tunnel effect. I doubt it will come as a surprise that there is a term in Japanese for this scenery and it is very similar to the English.

A tunnel of cherry blossoms

In English the term 'a tunnel of cherry blossoms' and 'a cherry blossom (or sakura) tunnel' are used intermittently. In Japanese the term is "sakura tonneru" 桜トンネル. Sakura, as you know, means cherry blossoms and "tonneru" is the Japanese (from English) for tunnel. When the trees don't actually meet to create an arch they are just called "sakura namaki" 桜並木 or a line of cherry blossom trees in English.

You can see cherry blossom tunnels at various locations around Japan. Some are more impressive than others. In Saitama Prefecture, one of the most popular and famous is a tunnel of Angyo Kanzakura cherry blossom trees, early blooming sakura, in Sakado city. The tunnel in the photo in this post is only about 50 meters long, but still looks stunning don't you think?

Are there any cherry blossom tunnels of note in your prefecture?
