In this detailed walking tour video, the channel れきちり散歩【歴史と地理の街歩きチャンネル】 takes us to one of Saitama Prefecture's most iconic cherry blossom spots, the Gongendo Sakura Tsutsumi (権現堂桜堤) in Satte City. Known for its picturesque 1-kilometer row of blooming Somei Yoshino cherry trees, this area becomes a popular destination each spring for hanami (flower viewing). The video sets out to show viewers the easternmost and westernmost ends of the park by walking across its length.
Starting from the Gongendo Iriguchi bus stop, the walk makes its way past key points such as the Kita Sanchome intersection, the eastern end of the cherry blossom embankment, Seihodo Iriguchi, and a traditional tea house called Toge no Chaya. Viewers looking to visit the Satte Sakura Festival (幸手さくらまつり) will appreciate the layout and helpful waypoints that guide them through the area.
A memorable part of the journey includes climbing the 'Omoide Saka' (Memory Slope) before reaching the western edge of the cherry embankment. The walk concludes near the Takasuka intersection on Route 4, giving a full scope of what visitors can expect when they come to enjoy the blossoms in person.
Gongendo Sakura Tsutsumi is located at 887-3 Uchigouma, Satte-shi, Saitama 340-0103. The area is not only home to rows of cherry trees but also daffodil fields and seasonal attractions making it a year-round destination. The Sakura Festival typically includes illuminations, food stalls, and a welcoming community atmosphere, making it a must-see for cherry blossom enthusiasts.
This video is a perfect reference for those planning their trip during the sakura season and shows not only the natural beauty but also the accessibility and serene vibe of suburban Saitama.
