Okamezakura of Nihonbashi Honmachi "Ajisai-dori St." is blooming.
Okamezakura is said to have been created by a British cherry researcher by crossing Mamezakura and Kanhizakura, and is characterized by early blooming, single light red, and blooming in a downhill manner.
In particular, the calyx is dark red and stands out.
The name is said to have been named after "Okame", which is said to have been a beautiful woman in ancient times.
The height does not grow so much and the branches do not spread much, so it is said to be suitable for planting small land.
I heard that it started with a scale of 26 trees, mainly at Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome, but now there are rows of cherry blossom trees all over Nihonbashi Honmachi 2-4-chome and the border with Chiyoda-ku.
In the lobby on the first floor of YUITO, a display will be produced from March 10th to April 10th, inspired by a row of cherry blossom trees on Ajisai-dori St.
