The Sewaritei area is located north of Iwashimizu-hachimangu Station (Keihan Main Line), immediately after crossing Goko-bashi Bridge. The cherry blossom tunnel stretches for approximately 1.4 kilometers in a narrow area sandwiched between the Kizu River and Uji River. These two rivers merge with the Katsura River shortly after their confluence, changing their names to the Yodo River and flowing through Osaka. In spring, the Sewaritei bank offers a breathtaking experience of walking through the tunnel of cherry blossoms. In this season, there is a fun festival in this area, with food, drinks, and more. It’s a very popular hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) spot for people of all ages, from children and young people to the elderly. Additionally, the observation tower of the Sakura-deai Visitor Center offers a spectacular view of the long cherry blossom carpet. It's also enjoyable just to relax in the spacious grassy area.
