Mountain cherries and equinox cherries bloom all over 
the mountain side at Kamagatani 
Hongo village, Ibi County, Gifu Prefecture. Access to 
the place can be obtained by a few minutes’ ride in a 
motor-car from Ikeno, which in turn can be reached 
by an electric tram starting at Ogaki station on the 
Government Railway (Tokaido route). An avenue of 
cherries forming the entrance of the cherry grove leads 
to the foot of the mountain where a large number of 
mountain cherries with Higan-zakura, or equinox 
cherries, intermingled here and there grow all over the 
mountain side. The higher part of the mountain 
commands a fine panoramic view of the surrounding 
country, overlooking the Nobi Plain stretching to the 
east. The trees blossom from about the 1oth of April.
