A 1000 year old sakura tree surely has to be the world's most beautiful! 😍🌸🌸🌸

Surely! The Japanese Cherry Blossom is considered the “most beautiful” and this is the most beautiful of them all so … it’s not a stretch to call this the most beautiful in the world!

If only the tree could tell stories of everything it has been able to witness over its 1000 year life so far. And it's amazing how much pride Japanese have with their cherry blossoms. And how much they care for the trees.

I know! Instead of becoming a book, it should write one! But there’d be many chapters on rough winters - and I think before the Edo period, the tree had it much tougher than now. Records before 1600s are hard to find, just enough references to validate it’s over 1000 years - but it would take double the time to explain it. If only trees could talk, I want that interview!

i was thinking about it and all i can thought of was blood flowing, the immense amount of blood spewed throughout history. Even as a Japanese myself the thought of living through the era of the past 1000 years is quite frightful. History aside this tree is in a class of its own, the tree among trees. It is highly revered and to me personally, i do not see it as a tree anymore. it is old enough to manifest itself into a spirit. it is something sacred to many Japanese, not just a beautiful tree or a tourist attraction which the idea itself is offensive for something many hold sacred. It is a sacred tree to us.

The tree is lovely of course, but I was truly moved by the social dimension, the community's emotional connection to the tree and how the community voluntarily looks after the cherry tree.

I've been there in 2019 and this is something else. First, while you drive from the nearest interchange to Takizakura, you'll see a number of massive cherry trees just along the road. You will be definitely surprised and touched with the trees. And when you meet Takizakura finally, you can't stop smiling with tears. I promise.

Thanks for the video, John! 今まで見たしだれ桜の中で一番きれいですねぇ。春だけでなく、四季それぞれの顔が違うということを紹介してくれて、なかなか面白かったです。きっちりと四季があるというのは、日本独特で、私は日本のすごくいいところと見ています。この時期に日本へ行くことがあったら、ぜひこの滝桜を見に行ってみたいと思います。ビデオシェア感謝です!!

Absolutely beautiful. I think one of the reasons everyone loves it besides watching it change throughout the seasons is that it has endured. Every generation tries to modernize it's surroundings and this tree has seen it all and still stays roughly the same. Of course, with a little help from us humans. I too would love to hear it's story of watching time pass and what it's witnessed. Thanks John for showing us this. 🥰

Of course there are lots of beautiful trees in the world, probably more so than this one. But what makes it special here is that in its hometown and in Japan, enough people see and recognise its beauty, they value and cherish and celebrate it. Generations of people looked after it. People travel hours just to see it, a tree. That's what makes it beautiful.
