The Miharu Takizakura, located in Fukushima Prefecture, is a legendary red weeping cherry tree, often considered one of Japan's "Three Great Cherry Trees" and a designated National Natural Monument. Estimated to be over 1,000 years old, its name, meaning "waterfall cherry tree," perfectly describes its breathtaking appearance when its light pink blossoms cascade down like a delicate waterfall from its expansive branches each spring. This ancient tree symbolizes incredible resilience, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually who come to witness its profound beauty and enduring vitality, especially poignant given its survival through various challenges, including the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
