Fukaya Cinema, located about a 10-minute walk from Fukaya Station, is highly recommended. Within the same premises as Fukaya Cinema, there are cafes, antique shops, Taiwanese food, and more, so you can enjoy not only the movies but also the surroundings. The buildings all have a great atmosphere and are worth seeing. Although the photos are dark and hard to see, the Taiwanese food at Taiwan Zhuang Urufuudo in the second photo smelled delicious. Although not in the photos, there is nothing particularly noteworthy on the way from Fukaya Station to Fukaya Cinema, except for one large liquor store where the sake lees I bought were very, very delicious. I didn't have much time, so I only had the almond tofu, but it was also very delicious.

I went to Fukaya Station, a station with a very nice appearance. Fukaya is the birthplace of Eiichi Shibusawa, who is now featured on the new 10,000 yen bill.

I went to the cherry blossom embankment of Karasawa River, which is close to Fukaya Station, which is associated with Eiichi Shibusawa! Even when it's in full bloom, there aren't many people, so it's perfect for taking photos✨ A hidden spot where you can quietly enjoy cherry blossom viewing🌸✨ The design of the red bridge in front of the shrine is very nice, and you can take a very nice photo by taking a picture of cherry blossoms x river x bridge! The cherry blossom trees are very long, so enjoy cherry blossom viewing🌸 at various spots! It seems that you can also enjoy the lighting at night during the cherry blossom season✨ The red lanterns are very cute✨ [INFORMATION] 🌸Karasawa Embankment (Cherry Blossom Embankment of Karasawa River) 📮16 Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture ⏰Open 24 hours 🚗There is a paid parking lot nearby🅿️ #Sakura2024 #SakuraFestival #SaitamaTourism #SakuraSpot #SakuraLightUp
