Escape the wait for spring! The Kawazu cherry blossoms are now blooming in Shizuoka and Kanagawa, offering a vibrant alternative to the classic Somei Yoshino.
Japan's cherry blossom season typically peaks in late March to early May with the Somei Yoshino variety. However, the Kawazu sakura offers an earlier bloom, starting in February. This means travelers can experience sakura season sooner than expected.
The town of Kawazu in Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for its Kawazuzakura, especially along Nanohana Road. Other notable spots include Hamamatsu's Todaiyama, and Kanagawa Prefecture's Nishihirahatake Park and Oi Yume no Sato, all easily accessible from Tokyo.
These locations provide stunning views of early-blooming cherry blossoms, often alongside yellow nanohana flowers and, potentially, Mount Fuji. Consider a day trip to Shizuoka or Kanagawa for a unique and colorful pre-spring experience.
