Made in the Netherlands and assembled in Sakura, the windmill “De Liefde” was built in 1994 and serves as a landmark for Sakura Furusato Square and as a symbol of goodwill between Japan and the Netherlands. It is also the first wind-driven water pump in Japan. A pic of the flowers and the windmill - how postcard-perfect is that?
