[2025 Yawata Attraction] Travel Guide for Yodo River Park Sewaritei District (Updated Mar)

In Japan, filled with beautiful cherry blossom scenery, the Higashi-Yodo embankment is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in the Kansai region. Located in Yawata City's Yodogawa River Park, the embankment is lined with cherry trees for about 1.4 kilometers, forming a magnificent cherry blossom tunnel. Every year in early April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire embankment is covered with a pink sea of flowers, becoming an enchanting cherry blossom avenue. Visitors can enjoy the splendid cherry blossom views from the park's grassy plaza and observation deck, while also enjoying the pleasure of picnicking. Access to the Higashi-Yodo embankment is very convenient. It takes about half an hour from Kyoto by Keihan train to reach Yawata City's Nanajo Station, and then a 15-minute walk to the embankment. Along the way, there are signs guiding the route to the cherry blossom viewing spots, which is very convenient. Although the cherry blossom scenery here may not be as elegant as Kyoto's, its spacious space and picnic atmosphere attract many independent travelers and locals. On the way to the embankment, you can also buy food at convenience stores or enjoy a bento at the entrance, making the cherry blossom viewing trip even more perfect.

This is the Sewari-Tsuchi area of ​​Yodogawa River Park in Kyoto! The cherry blossom tunnel with about 220 Somei-Yoshino cherry trees stretches for about 1.4 km, creating a spectacular sight. The best time to see them is from the end of March to early April every year. The rows of cherry trees continue on and on, so sometimes there are hidden spots where there are no people around \( ˆoˆ )/ On weekends, there are many stalls set up, so you can bring a picnic sheet and enjoy a meal while looking at the cherry blossoms! The tree-lined path is long, so you can get through relatively smoothly except for the beginning! There were a lot of people when I went by train! It seems like there aren't many places to park your car, so I recommend taking the train! #PR #KyotoTourism
