The Kanegasaki Thousand Cherry Trees overlooking the Sea of Japan—now, your love story begins to bloom.
Entrust your feelings of love to a small branch and wish for eternal happiness.
Men and women viewing the cherry blossoms call out to each other, saying “Shall we exchange flowers?”, and confirm their feelings by exchanging small cherry branches—a romantic festival that carries this old legend into the present. It is said that couples who perform “hana-kae” will be blessed with happiness in the future, and each year many young people visit for this reason.
