Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan and have been loved by many Japanese people since ancient times. Many varieties of cherry blossoms are concentrated in the Japanese archipelago. There are more than 100 varieties. In addition, there are more than 200 horticultural varieties that have been cultivated from them.

Among the Japanese cherry blossoms, one of the most popular varieties is the Kawazu cherry. It is a horticultural variety native to Japan, and is characterized by its earlier blooming period compared to other varieties. In addition, the flower blooms for a long time, and its beautiful pink color attracts many people.

Famous spots for Kawazu cherry blossoms in the Kanto region

Samezu Inlet Square (Tokyo)

Samezu Irie Square in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is a little-known, hidden gem of a place to see Kawazu cherry blossoms in Tokyo. This means you can enjoy Kawazu cherry blossoms without the crowds.

Another attraction is its easy access, about 10 minutes by train from Shinagawa Station, where the Shinkansen also stops. It is a recommended Kawazu cherry blossom spot for those who don't have time to leisurely sightsee.

After the Kawazu cherry blossoms have finished their peak, the moss phlox, which blooms in flowers similar to cherry blossoms, reaches its peak, spreading out over the area like a lovely pink carpet.

There is also a long slide at a vantage point where you can slide down among 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.

Compared to other cherry blossom varieties, Kawazu cherry blossoms reach their peak earlier than other varieties. The best viewing period varies depending on the location and the year, but they generally begin to bloom in early February and reach their peak from late February to March.

The websites of famous cherry blossom viewing spots often provide information about when the cherry blossoms will bloom, so it's best to check right up to the last minute and time your visit accordingly. However, for people visiting Japan on holiday, pinpointing the exact timing can be a difficult task... Kawazu cherry blossoms are beautiful even when they're not in full bloom, so they're also recommended for travelers with limited time.

Be sure to visit Japan during the Kawazu cherry blossom season and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
