I visited Tomioka during cherry blossom season to see the famous Yonomori Sakura Tunnel. It was truly marvelous, and well worth the drive. Not only were the blossoms lovely both during the day and into the sunset until becoming beautifully illuminated at night - but also, I could see how much this place means for the community and how powerful a symbol it is for hope for Tomioka. I stayed at Hotel Hojinkan, which is very modern and has wide rooms for accessible prices, and is only a short drive away from Yonomori. It’s heartbreaking to see the homes that had to be left behind back then, as well as the few difficult to return areas that are left. But it was also very inspiring to see the reconstruction and development that the town has had in the past few years, and the commitment of people in Tomioka to come together and build a brighter future.
