Located in the farmland of Yonezawa village in the Niitsuru area, this single cherry tree can be seen from a distance for its dark red flowers and large tree shape. The tree is over 700 years old, with a trunk circumference of 6 m, a height of 14 m, and branches stretching 10 m from east to west and north to south. It is also known as the “seed sowing cherry tree,” and it is said to sow the seeds of crops when it blooms.
It is said that a local landowner planted this tree in 1273 as a memorial service for Chitose (Tsunehime), a daughter of Egawa Chosha.

It is one of the five cherry trees of Aizu and is planted in front of the Kannondo Hall of Hoyoji Temple. It is said to have been planted in 808. It is a type of satozakura, and the current tree is a replacement of an old parent tree that died and was replaced by a tree that grew from the root base. It is said that the name “satozakura” comes from its double-petaled, light red flowers, which resemble a tiger’s tail with only the tips of the stamens petalized.
There is also a tragic love legend that the daughter of Egawa Chosha, Tsunehime, came to view the cherry blossoms and fell in love at first sight with the local head of the estate, Wakasama, who died without fulfilling his love.
Around the end of April, the Toranoo Tea Ceremony is held and visitors can enjoy an outdoor tea ceremony.

The only temple in Aizu with a three-story pagoda, it is said to have been built in 720 by Tokudo Shonin, a priest from Harima (Hyogo Prefecture). The kitchen inside the Kannon Hall, where the statue of the Kannon is enshrined, is known as the oldest kitchen in Aizu with a name of the year in which it was made. The hall also houses a statue of Kongorikishi, made of one piece of wood in the late Heian period (794-1185), both of which are designated as important cultural properties by the national government.
