Sakura is Japan's national flower and has been loved by many Japanese people since ancient times. Many types of cherry blossoms are concentrated in the Japanese archipelago. There are over 100 types. In addition, over 200 garden varieties have been bred from them.
Among the Japanese cherry blossoms, one of the most popular varieties is ``Kawazuzakura''. It is a gardening variety native to Japan, and is characterized by its early Sakikuno period compared to other varieties. In addition, it is a variety that attracts many people because it remains in full bloom for a long time and its flowers are a beautiful pink color.

Famous spots for Kawazu cherry blossoms in the Kanto region
Samezu Irie Square (Tokyo)
Samezu Irie Square in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo is a little-known spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms that can be seen in Tokyo. Therefore, you can enjoy Kawazu cherry blossoms without the crowds.
One of its attractions is its easy access, about a 10-minute train ride from Shinagawa Station, where the Shinkansen also stops. This is a recommended Kawazu cherry blossom spot for people who don't have time to leisurely sightsee.
After the Kawazu cherry blossoms are in full bloom, "Shibazakura", which blooms flowers similar to cherry blossoms, will be in full bloom, creating a lovely pink carpet.

Nishihirahata Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Kanagawa where you can see Kawazu cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji at the same time. If the timing is right, you can see the pink Kawazu cherry blossoms and the yellow rape blossoms at the same time, creating a beautiful scenery typical of spring in Japan.
There is also a long slide at a vantage point where you can slide down through the blooming cherry blossoms.
The Cherry Blossom Festival is held from early February to early March, so it's a good idea to check the dates and times on the website and time your visit accordingly.

The Miura Coast, located on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture, is famous for having a popular beach crowded with swimmers in the summer, but in the spring it becomes a famous spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms.
Approximately 1,000 Kawazu cherry trees are in full bloom in the approximately 1km stretch from Miura Kaigan Station to Komatsugaike Park, and rape blossoms are also blooming under the trees, allowing you to walk through a beautiful combination of pink and yellow.

Along the Kawazu River, Kawazu cherry blossom trees (Shizuoka Prefecture)
The Kawazu cherry tree introduced in this article was actually discovered by chance among weeds along the Kawazu River here in 1995. The log, which was about 1m tall at that time, still remains in this area today.
This is the birthplace of Kawazuzakura, which can be found throughout Japan, and there are 850 Kawazuzakura trees along the Kawazu River for about 4km. During the cherry blossom festival, the area is lit up at night and is crowded with people.

Minamiizu Town is located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka. The Aono River flows through the Shimogamo Onsen area, and 800 Kawazu cherry trees are planted along the river.
This place, away from the city, has untouched nature, and is a must-see spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms for those who want to enjoy the beautiful original scenery of Japan.

Kasado Island, located in the Seto Inland Sea, is one of Japan's most famous sunset spots, and is a place where many photographers visit to capture the spectacular view.
Kasado Island is also a famous spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms, with approximately 500 cherry trees in full bloom during the season. Among them, ``Shiokaze Garden'' is a spectacular spot where you can see Kawazu cherry blossoms, rape blossoms, and the ocean at the same time.
In addition, there are cherry trees other than Kawazuzakura, such as Someiyoshino, Yaezakura, and Yamazakura, so you can enjoy the cherry blossoms for a long time.
Famous spots for Kawazu cherry blossoms in the Kyushu region
Shiranoe Botanical Park (Fukuoka Prefecture)
Shiranoe Botanical Park is a botanical garden located on a small hill in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
You can see a collection of 700 cherry blossoms from about 60 different species, including the Kawazu cherry tree and the 500-year-old Shiranoe Satozakura. The most popular season is from late March to early April, when Yoshino cherry trees are in full bloom, so you can relax and enjoy February when the Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom.
Best time to see Kawazu cherry blossoms

Kawazu cherry blossoms reach their peak bloom earlier than other cherry blossom varieties. The best time to see them varies depending on the location and year to year, but they generally start blooming in early February and reach their peak from late February to March.
The websites of famous cherry blossom viewing spots often have blooming information written on them, so it's a good idea to check them until just before the cherry blossom viewing to make sure you're timing accordingly. That said, for people visiting Japan on vacation, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the timing... You can enjoy the beauty of Kawazu cherry blossoms even if they are not in full bloom, so it is recommended for tourists who have limited time.
Please come to Japan during the Kawazu cherry blossom season and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
