Miurakaigan Cherry Blossom Festival See early blooming cherry blossoms in Miura City • The Miurakaigan Cherry Blossom Festival is held at Komatsugaike Park in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. • There are over a thousand Kawazu cherry trees lining both sides of the road, starting from Miura-kaigan Station to the park grounds. • This cherry blossom was first discovered in Kawazu-cho in Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is where the name of this cherry blossom comes from. • In addition to the cherry trees, rapeseeds bloom at the same time. The pink cherry blossoms and yellow rapeseeds contrast wonderfully.
