Do you think you missed the best season of cherry blossom in Japan? It's too early to get depressed. You may still make it in time!
For "Hanami", which is indispensable in spring in Japan, people often enjoy a very popular kind of cherry tree called “Somei Yoshino (Yoshino cherry)”.
But here we introduce about viewing “Yae-zakura”, one of the cherry blossom kinds, which blooms a little later than Yoshino cherry.
Yae-zakura, in Kanji, it is written as "Eight-overlapping cherry blossoms", and the petals are piled up in multiple layers, making it a more gorgeous variety than Yoshino cherry.
Here are about about 60 varieties, 220 in total of Yae-zakura trees, and it's just a sight to see.
Well, where do you think the venue is?
This is at Hiroshima Branch of Japan Mint, an Incorporated Administrative Agency of the Japanese government and is responsible for producing and circulating the coins of Japan.
The Japanese coins in your wallet may have been produced here.
You may find coin packages of “Hana no Mawari-Michi”, limitedly sold of the year!?
