The precursor of the AEON group, Okadaya, planted 700 Cherry trees along Otogawa river when it opened up its first store outside the prefecture in 1965, and that spot has now grown into a spot famous for cherry-blossom viewing. This time, we have agreed to participate in the creation of another famous cherry blossom location asked for by the local residents, and on March 11, 2007, the first year of the program, 469 volunteers (320 from AEON, 149 Okazaki citizens) planted 800 wild cherry trees. The 2008 planting will be held on March 15 (Saturday).
