Cherry blossoms have already bloomed in Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo! There are so many types of cherry blossoms, but among them, Kawazu cherry blossoms are said to be the earliest cherry blossoms to bloom in February🥰 I'm so happy that they bloomed this early💗💗 📍#Nishihirabatake Park #西平畑公園 2951 Matsudasoryo, Matsuda, Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa 258-0003 Japan 🗺️Search “nishihirabatake park” on Google Maps 📷Taken on 2023.03.06 It's gradually changing into hazakura (葉桜: cherry blossoms with fallen flowers and young leaves), so if you're in Tokyo, I recommend visiting quickly! 🚆How to get there Shinjuku Station 👉Odakyu Line (1 hour 20 minutes, 789 yen) 👉Get off at Shin-Matsuda Station 👉Walk up the mountain(?) for about 15 minutes or take the bus (190 yen) operated during the cherry blossom festival from Matsuda Station 💴Admission 300 yen 🗓️Festival period 2023.02. 11-2023.03. 12 (9am-4pm) 🍱Nearby restaurant “clyde” I just stopped by when I was passing by, but there weren’t any tourists, and it’s a cozy shop like entering a regular home. Since it’s a local shop, there’s no English, so if you don’t speak Japanese, it might be a little difficult, but if you want to feel authentic Japan, I highly recommend it! I ate onsoba with 3 seasonal vegetables😋 #Tokyo #TokyoTravel #TokyoSuburbs #JapanTravel #HotPlace

Spring has probably arrived in Kanto Japan, the cherry blossoms have begun to bloom. Yesterday I went to Aguri Park in Kanagawa. The park with many cherry trees like Harymeki zakura is in full bloom, at the foot of the cherry blossom trees are yellow canola flowers. And together they make a wonderful scene. The park is also having a cherry blossom festival, I ate a cherry ice cream and it was very yummy with mochi rice in it. Here are some photos from my trip yesterday, hope you like them🥰Save this post for your spring trip to Japan 🥰 #春旅 #トリップドットコム #桜並木 #japantravel #japan #cherryblossom #あぐりパーク嵯峨山苑

My favourite early Sakura viewing spot is at the outskirts of Tokyo. The early Sakuras are called kawazu Sakura. This is a park/mountain situated near Matsuda JR station and it is covered by the JR pass~ They hold usually hold the Sakura Masturi (festival) in late February to early march. The view from the top is also fantastic. If you are lucky enough, you may even see Mount Fuji! It is best to go during a weekday as there may be a crowd during the weekends. However, there is an entrance fee for the park, approximately 300 yen. Trust me, the view is worth every penny. You can either choose to walk from the station to the park or wait for the bus which always have a long queue. Walking is the best as you can also see the small unique shops along the way. Enjoy~ #earlysakura

#cherryblossom25 Held at Nishihirabatake Park in Matsuda, Kanagawa, the Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival offers a magical preview of spring. From early February to mid-March, the park bursts into color with vibrant Kawazu-zakura blossoms and bright yellow rapeseed flowers. Set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, the scenery is postcard-perfect. A small entrance fee grants access to walking trails, food stalls, and evening illuminations. Just 90 minutes from Tokyo, this peaceful hillside escape is perfect for an early hanami experience away from the usual crowds of peak sakura season.

The popular Kawazu Sakura spot in the suburbs of Tokyo is located in Nishihirahata Park halfway up Mt. Matsuda in Kanagawa Prefecture. I highly recommend you to come and enjoy the flowers~ Recently, due to the cold front, the Kawazu Sakura here is still 4~6 points. It is expected that you will be in full bloom when you check in at the beginning of next month. February 8th to March 9th is the Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival. In previous years, the mountains were full of Kawazu cherry blossoms, interweaving with the golden rapeseed flowers, forming a bright spring picture🔆. When the sky is cloudless, you can see Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms in the same frame, so many photographer friends will make a special trip to check in. There is an observation deck in the park, and the town and Sagami Bay are not far away. There is a slide next to the observation deck, which is a great place to take pictures. There is also a small train running under the cherry trees, don't miss it if you have the chance~ 🌸Nishihirahata Park (Matsudayama Harbour Gate) 📆Sakura Festival period: February 8, 2025㈯~March 9㈰ ⏰Time: 9:00~16:00 📍Address: 2951 Matsuda-soryo, Matsuda-cho ✅Transportation: ✔️25 minutes walk from the north exit of Shin-Matsuda Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line ✔️20 minutes walk from the north exit of Matsuda Station on the Gotemba Line 👀From Tokyo, take the Tokaido Main Line at Tokyo Station, Shinbashi Station, or Shinagawa Station, transfer to the Gotemba Line at Kokufuzu Station, and finally get off at Matsuda Station.

At Nishihirahata Park, which is located at the town's observation deck, you can see Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay in one go. On a clear day, you can see the castle tower of Odawara Castle and Oshima Island on the horizon in the distance. You can also enjoy a panoramic view of the Ashigara mountains, including Mt. Yagura, Mt. Kintoki, and Mt. Myojingatake, which can be seen next to Mt. Fuji.

#CherryBlossom2024 I went to the Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival near Tokyo to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms blooming in winter.

#springblossom A nice cherry blossom park for 300¥ per Person. The catch, you need to wait around 1 hour in line to get here. So if you willing to wait, I think it’s worth. The parking is far so park at the station or other parkings, because you can’t enter the park with a car. Only bus or by foot. And for everyone with a dog, you also can enter the park. — There two lines. One line for buying the ticket and the other one is for waiting to go up.

#summerdream Kawazu, the city with the earliest cherry blossoms in Japan • Kawazu, a small city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is famous for its annual cherry blossom festival. • The cherry blossoms in Kawazu bloom earlier than anywhere else because they are the earliest blooming Kawazu species in Japan. 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.

The Matsuda City Cherry Blossom Festival or Matsuda Sakura Festival is considered the first #Sakura2024 festival of the year, which is exciting and has a warm atmosphere during the spring season in Matsuda City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan🇯🇵. It is very popular with tourists during this time😊 🌸The cherry blossoms here are of the Kawazu Sakura variety, which has its own unique characteristics. It is a cherry blossom that blooms earlier than other varieties. The flowers are large and bright pink. They usually bloom between early February and early March of each year. 🌸The day I went, there were a lot of people and long lines both going up and down. But the cherry blossoms were so beautiful that it was worth the wait. I was not disappointed at all. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, with a soft pink color, alternating with the bright yellow of the Nanohana flowers. It was soooooo beautiful. It was like they were waiting to give happiness to those who visited. It was a very heartwarming travel experience🥰 In fact, on a clear day, you can also see Mt. Fuji🗻. But yesterday, it was cloudy and there was no sun, so I didn't see Mt. Fuji. If you meet it, it must be very beautiful. 😊 📸Photo 18/2/2024 🌸Matsuda Sakura Festival 📅Event period: February 3 - March 3, 2024 ⏰Time: 9:00 - 17:00 🎟️Admission fee: 300 yen 🚃Getting there: From Shinjuku Station, take the Odakyu Romance car straight to Matsuda Station.

The main reason for our trip to Tokyo this time was to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms, a deep pink variety that blooms only from February to early March. When we went, it was 5 days after the full bloom. This variety is quite hardy and can survive for 7-10 days after the full bloom. The Kawazu cherry blossoms here are planted all over the hillsides, alternating with fields of bright yellow nanohana flowers. The garden has made a safe path under the cherry trees, so small children can come and visit. Most importantly, we had the chance to see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Event period: February 3 - March 3, 2024 Admission fee: 300 yen

A secret flower-watching spot to recommend to everyone~ Coordinates at Nishihirata Park in Kanagawa Prefecture. Few people, beautiful scenery, rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms, and you can see Mount Fuji 🗻. It's a very, very healing place! Next time when everyone comes to Japan, you can avoid the crowds watching flowers and go to this niche place to take a look!

📍Aguri park Sagayamaen, Kanagawa, Japan🇯🇵 It took me almost 2 hours to get from Tokyo to this park, but it's really worth it. Innumerable yellow canola flowers and blooming cherry blossomtrees create a picturesque scene. My travel companion asked me several times if this is heaven? 😊🌸 I spent the afternoon walking around and enjoying the scenery and the peaceful city of Matsuda below. If you visit this city in the spring, do not forget to come to Aguri park and the ideal time is from early March to mid-March. Entrance ticket is 300 yen. I believe you will have a great time in this park🌸🌸🌸
