“The mountain is laughing”, is a characteristic Japanese expression based on a HAIKU, a famous style of short Japanese poem. This always refers to the beginning of springtime. One of the harbingers of spring in Japan is the famous national flower of Japan, “Sakura” or “Cherry Blossom”.

There are many kinds of Sakura blooming in the Sadamisaki Peninsula right now, one after another. Especially characteristic of this area is the “Yamazakura” or “Mountain Cherry Blossom”, one of the original species of Sakura. You can find more than 100,000 of these cherry trees throughout the Sadamisaki Peninsula, and they make the mountains bright with color! Seeing these beautiful blossoms brings a smile to the lips of the people who live here and also the people who visit.
The mountains are indeed laughing, and people are happy that once again,
Spring is here!
