Shinjo is most known for its cherry blossoms, the Gaisen cherry blossoms that align its historic street. These are some of the latest-blooming cherry blossoms in the region blooming around mid-April. The cherry blossoms were planted here in 1905 after Japan's victory over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, so they are aptly named gaisen-zakura, Triumphant Cherry Blossoms.
