The best viewing time in 2024 is almost here! If you see this, change your plans right away! Includes information on the best dates and access

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
