Chasing Petals in Kawazu: A Spring Dream Come True!

Kawazu is truly a hidden gem for cherry blossom lovers. Located in Shizuoka Prefecture, this picturesque town bursts into color every early spring with its famous Kawazu-zakura – a unique variety that blooms earlier and lasts longer than most sakura. Strolling along the Kawazu River, I was greeted by rows of pink blossoms dancing in the breeze, set against a peaceful countryside backdrop. It felt like stepping into a postcard. The food stalls nearby made the experience even better – think sakura mochi, fresh seafood, and local delights. If you’re planning a cherry blossom trip, Kawazu deserves a spot on your list! #cherryblossom25 Location: Kawazu, Japan
