Obara town is famous place to see cherry blossoms in autumn. The cherry blossom is usually bloom in spring, but this trees are different kind of species. That's why bloom in autumn.

I heard about the drink that taste is Azuki(Red beans)..

It was made by Pepsi.

Azuki Pepsi...

When I sipped it, it was tasted Azuki, but afterwards I wasn't sure what I was drinking. It wasn't bad taste than I thought.
