Shingashi River: A Hidden Springtime Treasure

#cherryblossom25 Shingashi River in Kawagoe comes alive each spring as cherry blossoms bloom along its peaceful banks. The soft pink somei yoshino petals create a dreamy tunnel over the river, while reflections shimmer on the still water below. A seasonal boat ride under the sakura adds a touch of old-world charm, making you feel like you've stepped into a storybook. Less crowded than Tokyo’s hotspots, this hidden gem offers a calm, authentic hanami experience just a short trip from the city.
