[2025 Koshigaya Attraction] Travel Guide for Motoarakawa River (Updated Aug)

This is the center of Koshigaya City, a place of relaxation for the citizens adjacent to the city hall, the "Kasai Waterfront Greenway" and "Fujidana Street" on the Moto-Arakawa River. The roads are well maintained and beautiful, making it a good place to take a walk or jog in the morning or evening. Flowers are planted for each season, delighting visitors. Fujidana Street juts out into the river, so you can enjoy the scenery at your leisure. I've left a photo of the location for reference. This is a recommended spot in Koshigaya. Please come and visit. #Moto-Arakawa #Kasai Waterfront Greenway #Fujidana Street #Promenade

Motoara River (Saitama) Take the train from Kumagaya for only two stations and you will arrive here. The highlight is the cherry blossom tunnel surrounding the canal that stretches into the community. It is a large park where only locals come to visit rather than tourists. It is suitable for taking pictures without being bothered by tourists. Location: Fukiage Station (North Exit) Walk for about 200 meters. #ReviewJapan #TravelJapan

#cherryblossom25 No need to squeeze into crowded places because the scenery around us is already beautiful enough! We actually came two days in a row! Today, my daughter and I originally just planned to have a quiet little picnic, but we ended up finishing everything we brought within a few minutes 😂. Since there was still plenty of time left, we decided to stroll and take photos along the way — me on a bike, and her walking alongside 🚲👧🏻, getting in some good exercise too! It felt so relaxing — even time itself seemed to slow down, matching the leisurely footsteps of the people around us. We passed by row after row of blooming cherry trees, and finally realized that the most beautiful, heartwarming views are often the ones unseen by tourists. 🌸 The sakura season is slowly coming to an end... This past month, ever since chasing the early blooms, we've visited quite a few places. But still, my favorite is this peaceful riverside right near home — the Middle Arakawa River Cherry Blossom Path (中元荒川堤桜並木). 🩷🌿 #travel

#cherryblossom25 Today, I took a peaceful trip to the countryside of Saitama to enjoy the cherry blossoms. In just one week, the sakura, which was about 70% bloomed last week, has now reached full bloom and has transitioned into a sakura snow. This is my favorite moment of spring—when the petals fall like soft snowflakes. 🌸❄️ The best part? It was so peaceful. There were even fewer people than when I visited the Arakawa riverbank last week. The area is surrounded by small paths with no cars, and it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing walk by the riverside, basking in the gentle spring sunlight. 🌞 The petals had fallen into the clear river, sparkling in the water as they were carried downstream. It felt as though spring itself was drifting away, carried by the flowing water with the petals. 🌸💧 Honestly, this year's cherry blossom season has lasted longer than usual, which was a treat. I had the chance to enjoy the sakura for two weekends, unlike past years where it felt like the petals fell all too quickly. 🌷 Location: Moto Arakawa Sakura-lined Path You can take a train to Fukiage Station, then walk just a few minutes to reach this lovely spot. 🚶♂️🚉 #travel

#cherryblossom25 Flowing through Gyoda City, this ancient river-turned-canal transforms each spring into one of Kanto’s longest sakura corridors, with 1,000+ trees lining its banks for 4 continuous kilometers. Unlike Tokyo’s crowded spots, here you’ll stroll beneath unbroken pink arches accompanied only by the whispers of history—this was once the main waterway of the Musashino Plain, traveled by samurai and merchants.

Today, I will take you to see cherry blossoms near Tokyo. Take the JR Takasaki Line and get off at Fukiage Station. Walk from the station for 10 minutes to Motoarakawa River. Cherry blossom trees line both sides of the river. I personally think it is more beautiful than the cherry blossoms at Nakameguro in Tokyo. The day I went was a weekday, so there were quite a few people. However, if it is a holiday, there will be people coming to Hanami along the river. If you have the chance, I would like you to come and live a slow life here. The cherry blossoms are very beautiful and juicy.
