Geocache Description:

Mt. Murazumi is one of my favorite mountains. This mountain is introduced in the guide book called “130 mountains in Aichi Prefecture”. Mt. Murazumi is 256.9 meters above sea level in Okazaki City. Mt. Murazumi is familiar as Mikawa-Fuji. There are some climbing trails around there. One of the easy routes to climb Mt. Murazumi is from Okutono-jinya parking lot. The other routes to climb Mt. Murazumi is from Okuyamada-cho. The droop cherry blossoms tree in Okuyamada-cho is specified for the natural monument. Please enjoy going on a hike.

This cache is hidden near the huge cherry blossoms tree.
Please take a pen for the log.

岡崎市奥山田町のほぼ中央、南寄りの小高い丘に、持統帝御手植えと伝えられる枝垂桜の古木がある。
幹は胸高廻り 2.4m、樹高 15m、枝張り東西 15m、南北 17mの巨木で岡崎市指定の天然記念物の名木である。（昭和38年5月8日指定）　この木は彼岸桜の一種で、染井吉野より10日位早く3月20日頃咲きはじめ1週間程で満開となる。七八分咲きまでは朝が美しく、散りはじめてからは夕景がすばらしい。
落花盛んの頃から、持統桜は淡墨色を帯びてきて、日没後しばらく幽玄の美が極まり、神秘的でさえある。
