There are about 200 Angyo Winter Cherry trees in the park, spanning 1.2km. They bloom earlier than Somei Yoshino Cherry trees, and they bloom in pale pink from early to mid-March. I was a little early, but when I talked to the people who came to take photos, they said that it's really crowded at the peak of the season and it's hard to park in the parking lot. It was quite difficult to take photos without people in the way. I was a little early, but I was glad I could take my time taking photos. There was a person walking his dog, so I was able to take a photo. The cherry blossom festival is over. This year, the flowers bloomed late and are currently 30% in bloom. #AngyoCherryBlossoms #CherryBlossomFestival #CherryBlossoms #Saitama #Sakado #KitaasabaSakuraDikePark #Spring0YenTrip
