Potomac [river] - Potomac

Japanese: ポトマック[川] - ポトマック
Potomac [river] - Potomac
A river in the eastern United States. It originates in the Appalachian Mountains, flows east, and empties into the Chesapeake Bay. It is 462 km long. There are many historical sites from the Civil War. The riverside in the lower reaches of Washington is known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms, which were a gift from Japan. The name comes from 2,000 Somei-Yoshino cherry trees donated by Tokyo Mayor Ozaki Yukio in 1909, but they were all burned down due to insect damage, so 3,100 new seedlings were donated in 1912.

米国東部の川。アパラチア山脈に発し,東流してチェサピーク湾に注ぐ。全長462km。南北戦争当時の史跡が多い。下流部のワシントン市内の河畔は日本から贈られた桜の名所として知られる。1909年に東京市長尾崎行雄が贈った2000本のソメイヨシノに由来するが,虫害によりすべて焼却されたため,1912年に3100本の苗木が新たに贈られた。
