About 40 Okamezakura trees are planted on both sides of Ajisai-dori St., of which several of them began to bloom in front of AIG Nihonbashi Honmachi Building and Eirakuya.

Okamezakura is said to be a hybrid of Mamezakura and Kanhizakura, and is a pale red color and blooms downward.

It is a small variety of cherry blossoms, and it is said that it is suitable for planting small sites because the branches are compact without stretching horizontally.
