Japan is a country blessed with four seasons, but when you see the absolutely stunning scenery in the town of Obara in Aichi Prefecture during the fall, you might agree that they do have a point.
In Japan, the season of sakura (or cherry blossom) is usually late-March through early-April. In Obara, however, the sakura bloom twice a year. In Japanese, these special sakura are called shikizakura, which translates to "four season sakura" in English are called winter cherry blossoms.
