Gongendou Tsutsumi 権現堂堤
Gongendou Tsutsumi 権現堂堤 is a causeway located at the northern outskirt of Satte-shi 幸手市 and is famous for its long line of Sakura trees along the causeway. It is also famous for its Nanohara 菜の花 fields beside the causeway.
I was one day too late as the rain on the previous day has shattered half of the Sakura flower petals onto the ground.

The nearest train station is Satte station 幸手駅 of Toubu Nikkou Line 東武日光線.
