A stunning scene regarded as one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots

Gojo River's stream starts from the city of Tajimi in Gifu Prefecture and flows through the town of　Oguchi as well as Konan and Iwakura Cities, located in Aichi Prefecture's western area. The area managed from Inuyama City to Kiyosu City, where it joins the Shin River, measures a total length of 28.2 kilometers and is a vital river to the areas through which it runs. At the city of Iwakura, it is greeted by a downtown atmosphere with some 1,300 cherry trees planted on both of its river banks.
When the flowers come into bloom, the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival takes place, and invites all to enjoy a pink arch of cherry blossoms over the river. This spectacle has earned the Gojo River a place as one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots.
During the festival, you can enjoy the blossoms even into the night time as they are lit up in a brilliant display and you can also witness "Nombori Arai", or the washing of carp streamers to remove the glue used in their festive patterns. A parade float too makes an appearance, parading around to the delight of numerous sightseers.
As the blossoms meet their final days, they flutter down onto the river surface, where they see the spring season off in blanket of pink flowing along in one final and unforgettable sight.
