Senjuin is one of the best spots for cherry blossom viewing or hanami in Matsue. Now, you can see beautiful weeping cherries or shidare cherries there. Many families and couples are coming to the temple which is located near the historic Matsue castle to see the full-blown cherry tree.
They say some samurai that lived here gave the temple the tree about 300 years ago. The shidare cherry is about 8 m high and 90 cm in diameter. The tree was about to collapse over ten years ago but a tree doctor saved its life and after that it continues to blooming every year. The cherry bloomed at the end of March and the date was two or three days later than usual. You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing there until this weekend.
松江市の花見スポットの一つ、同市石橋町の千手院のしだれ桜が見頃を迎えている。城下町の風情漂う地区の一角で満開になった桜を一目見ようと、家族連れやカップルが足を運んでいる。
約３００年前に松江藩士が寄贈したとの言い伝えが残る桜で、高さ約８メートル、幹の直径は約９０センチ。１０年以上前に腐朽菌に感染して樹勢が衰えたことがあったが、樹木医の手当てで助かり、今も毎年花を咲かせている。ことしは例年より２、３日遅く３月下旬に開花した。今週末まで楽しめるという。 山陰中央新報 http://www.sanin-chuo.co.jp/news/modules/news/article.php?storyid=545064179
