[2025 Kawazu Attraction] Travel Guide for Kawazu Sakura (Updated Jul)

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

🙆‍♂️Maybe it's because I've watched too many anime, but the cherry blossom season is always the season I look forward to the most🥹 This year, due to the weather, the cherry blossoms will bloom later than usual, and are expected to bloom in large numbers in mid-to-late March. After visiting many times, besides the popular hot spots that have already bloomed, here are some places I recommend. All of them are accessible by subway, and are secret spots with cherry blossoms lining the streets. 🚃Transportation + Features + Photo Spots + Tips 📍Kawazu Cherry Blossoms⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: The same filming location as the Japanese drama "First Love," with cherry blossom trees stretching for nearly 5 km along the river, which is truly stunning. The petals are also very large, making it easier to take close-up shots compared to other places. 📷Photo Spots: It is recommended to walk counterclockwise along both sides of the riverbank to avoid the crowds and take photos freely. 🚇Transportation: Take the JR Izu Kyuko Line, which is a special cherry blossom train. Remember to book a seat on the left side (A) to enjoy a 10-minute coastal view, which is super beautiful. 📍JR Nishi-Hachioji Station⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: Both sides of the entire riverbank are lined with cherry blossom trees, which is very spectacular. There are also very few people, mostly locals jogging, so you can take photos freely. 📷Photo Spots: Every day at 14:10/16:25, two Chuo Line limited express trains will roar through the cherry blossom tunnel (arrive 20 minutes early to get a spot). 🚇Transportation: Exit the north exit of JR Chuo Line "Nishi-Hachioji Station," cross the overpass to "Oiwakecho Pedestrian Bridge." 📍Tokyo Skytree⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: A popular postcard location, with the world's tallest tower and cherry blossoms in the same frame. Many people like to take photos of the night cherry blossoms here, but I prefer to take photos on sunny days, which are more beautiful. 🚇Transportation: Take the Asakusa Line to "Oshiage Station" and exit at B3/ Take the Tobu Skytree Line directly. 📷Photo Spots: From 18:00 to 21:00, the Skytree will light up with cherry blossom pink lights! It is recommended to walk to Azumabashi Bridge to take photos of the river cherry blossoms and the double tower reflection. 🌚Tips: Be sure to come on a sunny day, as it looks really ugly on a cloudy day. 📍Shinjuku Gyoen⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: An urban garden with more than 70 kinds of cherry blossoms blooming in succession, with a flowering period of up to 1 month, so you won't miss it. 🚇Transportation: Take the Marunouchi Line to "Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station" and exit at Exit 1/ Walk 10 minutes from the south exit of JR "Shinjuku Station." 📷Photo Spots: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the lawn, cherry blossoms, and Shinjuku skyscrapers in the same frame in the garden area. 🌚Tips: There will be a lot of people after 11:00. 📍Yoyogi Park⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: Many local young people come here for picnics and cherry blossom viewing. It is also a filming location for many anime. There is a cherry blossom market every weekend, which I have attended once, and it is really lively. 🚇Transportation: Take the Chiyoda Line to "Yoyogi-Koen Station" and exit at Exit 4/ Walk 7 minutes from the Omotesando exit of JR "Harajuku Station."

Due to the warm winter this year, the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms are blooming earlier than usual and are about to reach their peak⚠️Normally, they start blooming in early February, but this year they have already started blooming from the end of January😵The best time to see them is about a week to 10 days, but unlike regular cherry blossoms, the color is deep, so I think you can still enjoy them when they are 50-60% in bloom! Today, I will introduce the Kawazu cherry blossoms in Kawazu Town, Minamiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, which is said to be the birthplace of Kawazu cherry blossoms, and is a spot where you can see Kawazu cherry blossoms! There is a large Kawazu cherry tree here🌸 ▪️About the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival---- The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival will be held for one month from February 1st to February 29th! During the event, many stalls are set up, so you can fill your stomach without going into any of the shops 😋 There are shops, but they are few and far between, so it's best to eat while walking along the river 💡 The area is lit up between 18:00 and 21:00, making for an even more fantastic view 😍✨ ▪️About the Kawazu Sakura Trees---- Here you'll find a large Kawazu Sakura tree 🌸It is said to have started when a cherry tree seedling discovered about 70 years ago was planted 🧐The tree faces the road and the sidewalk is narrow, so it may be difficult to take a photo, but please be careful of your surroundings and take a look! ▪️The best day to visit this year is around February ◯---- As of February 7th, it is forecast to be 10-20% in bloom, about a week earlier than last year! It's unclear what the weather will be like in the future, but it is predicted that the cherry blossoms will be 70% in bloom around February 14th, so if you're going on the weekend, it's a good idea to reserve your spot on the 17th or 18th of that week 💡 Perhaps the cherry blossoms will already be starting to fall by the following weekend 💦 The temperature is expected to rise again this weekend, so it will depend on that The photo posted was taken on February 24, 2023, and it was almost at its peak! ▪️If you're going from the city center, buy a limited express train in advance ------ If you're going from Tokyo or Yokohama, be sure to buy a ticket for the limited express train in advance 🎫 It's quite a distance away, and even if you take the limited express, it takes 2.5 hours from Tokyo Station and 2 hours from Yokohama Station. You don't have to take the limited express, but it will take an extra hour ⚠️ Also, the limited express trains fill up quickly during the peak viewing period! There are still some places where the peak viewing time is unknown, so I recommend buying tickets online in advance! You can buy tickets on Ekinet, so please try it out! ️ --------------------------------- That's it! What do you think? When Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom, it feels like spring has begun, so please come and experience the arrival of spring in the birthplace of Kawazu cherry blossoms! #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #cherryblossomconquest #amazingcherryblossomviews #shizuokatourism #kawazucherryblossoms #izu

It starts to get crowded after 10am, so be sure to get up early and go before 10am♪The main spots are marked on the map! Enjoy cherry blossom viewing while walking along the river in that area◎Outing plan📍Spot name: Kawazu-zakura FestivalAddress: Kawazu-cho, Shizuoka PrefectureCost: FreeRecommendation: Early morning or evening is recommended as there are fewer people. ⚠Caution: It gets crowded at good times. #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #cherryblossomconquest #amazingcherryblossoms #kawazu-zakura #kawazu-zakurafestival

#Travel by train Hello, a 3-day, 2-night trip to Japan may be a little short for some people, but for me, traveling by train to Tokyo and nearby cities is convenient, comfortable, and very worthwhile. This post will only review trains, using the 3-day Tokyo Wide Pass to travel to 3 cities near Tokyo. First, buy the pass through the JR East website because you can use it from the airport. If you buy it from other agents, such as Klook, you have to pick up the pass at Ueno Station, so you can't use it from Narita Airport. Then plan where to go in the 3 days... I went at the end of February, the cherry blossoms in Kawazu were in full bloom, and the snow at Gala Yuzawa was still beautiful. So the plan came out as follows: On the first day, get off the plane in the morning, exchange the pass, and get the tickets that you booked in advance for various routes at Narita... ... Then use the pass to ride the Narita Express all the way to Ofuna, then transfer to the Limited Express Odoriko to Kawazu. After taking beautiful pictures of the cherry blossoms, in the evening, take the Odoriko straight from Kawazu to Ueno and check in to your accommodation. On the second day, take the Shinkansen from Ueno to Gala Yuzawa. This train is great. It goes all the way to the ski resort. Enjoy the soft snow for a whole day. On the third day, carry your backpack out of your accommodation in Ueno area, take the Shinkansen Nagano line to Karuizawa station. You can walk around the city, see nature, shop at famous outlets, or ski, whichever you like. After eating, take the train back to Tokyo. Continue on the Narita Express to the airport. Wait to board the plane in the evening or at night. It can be said that a single pass is a great value for traveling by train to cities outside of Tokyo. You can get both the feeling of pink cherry blossoms, white snow, and shopping until you drop your money before returning on the last day. Don't forget to book your seat online, then pick up the pass and receive the tickets you booked at the same time. You can change your plan to see Fuji one day, or go to worship the Great Buddha of Kamakura, stop by Hase Temple, and in the evening, see the port city of Yokahama one day, whichever you like. A worthwhile trip, all in one pass, Tokyo Wide Pass.

#JapanTravel I just went to see cherry blossoms... Many friends exclaimed, Huh? In winter, the snow is still fluffy in Japan. Where did you go to see cherry blossoms? They are so beautiful. The answer... I went to see a type of winter cherry blossom that blooms before anyone else in Japan. It is the Kawazu type, named after the city where it was discovered, Kawazu. It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, which is a cape that juts out into the sea, called Cape Izu. Kawazu City is therefore by the sea. There is a canal from the sea through the middle of the city. On both sides of the canal or river, there are cherry blossoms planted for viewing for several kilometers. I got off the Limited Express Odoriko train from Tokyo and got off at Kawazu Station. I saw cherry blossoms right away. It was a short trip to Japan at the end of February, which was still winter in Japan. I got to ski and see cherry blossoms, two emotions in one trip. It was so beautiful... The cold weather, walking, sipping coffee, and seeing cherry blossoms in Kawazu.

I went to the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival🌸, which is held every year from February 1st to February 28th!!! *This year, the cherry blossoms were late, so the festival has been extended until March 5th. It's super crowded, so I don't recommend going by car. I wanted to see the cherry blossoms during the day, so I got up a little early and went. Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people, and I realized how popular the Kawazu cherry blossoms are. I want to go see them again next year. #ShizuokaTourism #KawazuCherryBlossom #Kawazu #CherryBlossom #cherryblossom

This time, we will introduce the Kawazu Sakura Festival, an early-blooming cherry blossom festival that begins to bloom in early February. Kawazu Sakura is a specialty of Kawazu Town in the southern part of the Izu Peninsula, and the cherry blossoms that bloom along the riverside are a popular cherry blossom viewing spot. The full bloom period lasts about one week to ten days, but it seems that you can get a satisfying view of Kawazu Sakura when it is at least 50-60% in bloom. ◆Kawazu Sakura Festival◆ In 2023, it is scheduled to be held from February 1st to March 5th. You can check the flowering status on the official website of the Kawazu Sakura Festival, so check it out before deciding on a day to go. The nearest station is Izukyu Kawazu Station. ◆Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival◆ In Minamiizu Town, the Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival is also held, where you can enjoy Kawazu Sakura and Nanohana at the same time. In 2023, it is scheduled to be held from February 1st to March 10th. You can check the current flowering status on the official website of the Minamiizu Town Tourism Association. You can also see images from a live camera. (Apparently, the best time to see them is around February 15th to 25th.) #ShizuokaTourism #KawazuCherryBlossoms #IzuTourism #Minamiizu #Kawazu #IzuTrip #IzuDrive #ShizuokaTrip #ShizuokaPrefecture #ShizuokaPrefectureTrip #CherryBlossomViewing

I went to Izu to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms! I happened to be at an institution that was lit up, so I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms being lit up.

Please enjoy the cherry blossom illuminations at night ♪ There are also many places nearby where you can take a bath in a hot spring, so please stop by one of them! #illumination #hot spring #kawazu cherry blossom #izu

#TokyoItinerary 🌸Family, Tokyo cherry blossom season is finally here! But the city is so congested. Although the cherry blossoms on the roadside in Shibuya are beautiful, the crowds are so huge that it is very difficult to enjoy the cherry blossoms and take pictures. 🚗I discovered a treasure trove of cherry blossom viewing spots - Ikuta Kawazu Sakura, about an hour's drive from Tokyo. As soon as I got here, I was shocked! There are endless cherry blossom trees on both sides of the river, with layers of pale pink flowers blooming wantonly. The flowers on the tree sway gently in the breeze, and the petals fall down, as if it is a romantic flower rain. 💐Unlike the crowded city, the space here is open and there are relatively few people, so you can enjoy the joy of cherry blossom viewing. Take a stroll along the river, with petals falling under your feet and a sea of ​​flowers overhead. The photos you take from any angle are super beautiful, and you don’t have to worry about people in the background. 📸Whether you are taking a close-up of cherry blossoms or taking a portrait with a sea of ​​flowers as the background, you can easily produce a great photo. Here, every photo can capture the romance and beauty of the cherry blossom season. ✨If you also want to enjoy cherry blossoms in Tokyo but don’t want to be disturbed by the crowds, you must come to Ikuta Kawazu Sakura!

#cherryblossom25 As of today, the Kawazu-zakura at Tokyo's Sakura Jingu are in full bloom. If you're looking to enjoy these early-blooming cherry blossoms without making the trip all the way to Kawazu on the Izu Peninsula, this charming little shrine west of Shibuya is the perfect spot to visit! Kawazu-zakura is a famous early-blooming variety of cherry blossoms found primarily in Kawazu, a small town on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. Unlike the more common Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, which bloom in late March to early April, Kawazu-zakura starts flowering as early as February, making it one of the first cherry blossom varieties to appear in Japan. The blossoms are known for their deep pink color and long-lasting bloom period, which can extend for about a month. The best place to view these vibrant flowers is along the Kawazu River, where over 8,000 cherry trees line the banks, creating a stunning tunnel of pink. The annual Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival (Kawazu-zakura Matsuri) attracts thousands of visitors who come to admire the blossoms, enjoy local street food, and experience the festive atmosphere. At night, some trees are illuminated, enhancing the magical scenery. Kawazu is easily accessible from Tokyo via the JR Odoriko limited express train, making it a popular day-trip destination. The town’s warm climate and the early bloom of Kawazu-zakura provide a perfect opportunity to enjoy cherry blossoms before the main season begins, offering a unique and beautiful glimpse into Japan’s famous hanami culture.

#東京樱花 During this trip to Tokyo, I was fortunate to witness the grand spectacle of Kawazu's early cherry blossoms with my own eyes, and my heart was filled with surprise and emotion. Walking under the cherry trees, the pink petals fell in the wind, like a dreamy scene, making me feel like I was in a fairy tale world. Each cherry blossom exudes a soft glow, attracting countless tourists to take photos. The lively atmosphere on the scene makes me feel excited. At the market, there was a wide variety of local handicrafts and unique souvenirs that I couldn't help but pick them up one by one. Each stall exudes a strong cultural atmosphere, allowing me to have a deeper understanding of the charm of this beautiful city. The market was bustling with people, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces. It seemed that everyone was immersed in the spring atmosphere. I stood under the cherry tree, feeling a lot of emotions in my heart. The beautiful scenery before our eyes is not only a gift from nature, but also people’s expectation and love for spring. These cherry blossoms are like tokens of countless people's emotions, allowing everyone who visits to feel the beauty and hope of life. This unforgettable moment made me realize that small beautiful moments in life can bring infinite power.

Who among my family members understands? This cherry blossom viewing experience in Izu was absolutely amazing! I didn't get up early in the morning, and I thought I would miss the beautiful scenery, but I still encountered the extremely romantic cherry blossom tunnel. I was so lucky🥳 Walking in the tunnel, there were large patches of blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms above my head, and the pink petals were intertwined, like a flower road leading to a dream world. The breeze blew, and the petals fell, and the atmosphere was full. How can cherry blossom viewing be complete without delicious food? The local Sakura Latte has the mellow coffee flavor at first, followed by a light cherry blossom aroma, which is rich in layers and leaves a lasting aftertaste. There is also the soft, sweet and fragrant Sakura Daifuku, which is full of the taste of spring when you take a bite. Now looking back at the pictures, I am still so greedy and really want to eat another one. I can't help but share some good news with my friends. Although it rained heavily and was windy in Izu yesterday, the Kawazu cherry blossoms were super strong. Only about 10-15% of them were knocked down. They are still incredibly beautiful when you go to see them now! Those of you who are planning to come to Izu to enjoy the cherry blossoms, hurry up! If you miss this season, you will have to wait another year! #Izu #Kawazu Sakura #Japan Cherry Blossom Viewing

Kawazu cherry blossoms are the earliest blooming cherry blossoms in Eastern Japan. To check the blooming status in Kawazu Town, you can visit the official website, which is updated every morning. The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival is held from early to late February each year. During this period, there are many food stalls and unique souvenirs available for tourists to purchase near Kawazu Station and along the Kawazu River, creating a lively atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms along the river while tasting delicious local snacks, offering a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. A special recommendation is the sakura-flavored taiyaki, available only during the festival. Freshly made, it is warm and chewy, and its pink color perfectly complements the cherry blossom scenery. Holding it under the cherry trees makes for a perfect photo opportunity. For those interested in night cherry blossoms, there is an evening illumination ceremony from 6 PM to 9 PM. Transportation: If traveling from Tokyo, you can take the Odoriko Limited Express train directly to JR Kawazu Station. This is the most convenient and fastest method, though it is also more expensive. For a cheaper option, you can take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Atami Station, then transfer to the JR Ito Line to Kawazu Station. If you are visiting the Higashi-Izu area for the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival, you can also experience the Japanese Doll Festival, also known as Girls' Day, held from late January to late March each year. The main venue is the Hina-no-Yakata at Izu Inatori Bunka Park, which requires an admission fee. The exhibition features thousands of miniature hina dolls and large hina decorations, which are colorful and symbolize the healthy growth of girls. Additionally, there are souvenir stalls where visitors can purchase hina dolls and decorations. If you want to buy some traditional Japanese cultural souvenirs, consider hina dolls and decorations as precious travel memories. Transportation: Get off at Izu-Inatori Station on the Izu Kyuko Line and walk for about 15 minutes.

I went to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms in Kawazu Town, Shizuoka🌸 They are famous for blooming earlier than Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, but when I visited this time, they hadn't bloomed yet😭 *As of 2/15 There were about 2 trees that were 50% in bloom, but it was very beautiful~ There were also camellias in bloom, and I felt the transition between winter and spring~❄️ When you visit Kawazu, I recommend the rare cheese dorayaki at Minatogetsudo! The slightly sweet dough and the refreshing rare cheese are the perfect match👏 📍Address: 495 Mine, Kawazu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0511 💞Recommended reason: Cherry blossoms planted on both sides of the river🌸 #0 yen travel February 2025 #Shizuoka #Shizuoka sightseeing #Shizuoka trip #Atami #Kawazu #Kawazu cherry blossoms #Kawazu cherry blossom festival #Kawazu cherry blossom spots #Cherry blossom spots #Dorayaki
