#Sakura2024 These are cherry blossoms around Matsudayama Herb Garden, about a 15-minute walk from Shin-Matsuda Station! The transparent pink color of the cherry blossoms illuminated by the setting sun will soothe your everyday fatigue. Also, because it is on high ground, if you look down you can see the cherry blossoms and the townscape, and if you look up a little you can see Mt. Fuji. If the view is good, you can take a photo of the cherry blossoms with Mt. Fuji in the background. Please be sure to go between lunchtime and sunset! It was the most beautiful and memorable cherry blossom I saw this year!

Matsudayama Herb Garden (Nishihirahata Park) is a wonderful spot where you can see early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji! Here are some recommended places and times for taking photos that I found when I visited previously 🥰 ▶︎▶︎Recommended places Here are 5 photo spots where you can see the collaboration of Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms ☺︎ ① Immediately after climbing the first stairs from the entrance ② Kawazu cherry blossoms next to the stairs of the Children's Hall (where the bus turns) ③ Next to the toilet next to the parking lot ④ A balcony-like place at the Children's Hall ⑤ At the back of the mandarin orange direct sales store ▶︎▶︎Recommended times Mt. Fuji is backlit in the afternoon, so it is recommended to go in the morning. The official website states that the cherry blossom festival hours are "9:00 am to 4:00 pm." However, when I visited, I was able to enter even though I arrived around 8:00, perhaps by chance. (Thank you for coming early in the morning 🙇♂️) There were not many people immediately after entering, so I was able to take photos at my own pace. The number of people increased from around 8:30, and by 10:30, there was a long line to enter. ▶︎▶︎Best time to see This year, it was in full bloom on February 18th. The Cherry Blossom Festival will run until March 3rd. ▶︎▶︎Hina dolls It was just in time for Hina dolls, so there were beautiful Hina dolls on display. #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #MatsudayamaHerbGarden #NishihirahataPark #EarlyBloomingCherryBlossoms #EarlyBloomingCherryBlossoms #KawazuCherryBlossoms #Mt.FujiandCherryBlossoms

📍 Matsudayama Herb Garden This is a spot where you can see the magnificent pink scenery, rape blossoms, and Mt. Fuji all together when the Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom. This is actually in Kanagawa Prefecture♡ The Matsuda Sakura Festival is also held, and many people come on weekends. If you want to take beautiful photos, it's best to go on a weekday! And it's best to go as early as possible. It gets crowded in the afternoon. There are no restaurants and almost no shops, so it's best to eat before going or bring a lunch box! The garden is very wide and sloped, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes! By the way, my personal photo spots are a narrow side path where there is no one and on the way back, just before the main road (where you can take photos of Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms). 🗺️Address•••2951 Matsuda Soryo, Matsuda-cho, Ashigarakami-gun, Kanagawa 258-0003 ⏰Business hours•••10:00-16:00 🚗Parking•••¥1,000 inside the park 💴Admission•••¥300 (Environmental conservation contribution) 🌸Types of flowers••• Kawazu cherry blossoms Early February to early March Kanhi cherry blossoms Early March to mid-March Okame cherry blossoms Late February to mid-March Harumeki cherry blossoms Early March to mid-March Youkou cherry blossoms Late March to early April Double cherry blossoms Early April to mid-April Weeping white plum blossoms Mid-February to early March Weeping red plum blossoms Late February to mid-March Kagoshima red plum blossoms Mid-February to early March Red plover blossoms Late February to mid-March Daffodils Late December to late February Rape blossoms: mid-January to early April Edible rape blossoms (buds): mid-January to mid-March #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #amazingcherryblossoms #cherryblossoms #cherryblossoms #cherryblossomspots #amazingviews #outingspots #cherryblossoms #cherryblossomseason #hanamap #springoutings
