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.

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.
