2025 Kawazu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

🙆‍♂️Maybe it's because I've watched too many anime, but the cherry blossom season is always the season I look forward to the most🥹 This year, due to the weather, the cherry blossoms will bloom later than usual, and are expected to bloom in large numbers in mid-to-late March. After visiting many times, besides the popular hot spots that have already bloomed, here are some places I recommend. All of them are accessible by subway, and are secret spots with cherry blossoms lining the streets. 🚃Transportation + Features + Photo Spots + Tips 📍Kawazu Cherry Blossoms⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: The same filming location as the Japanese drama "First Love," with cherry blossom trees stretching for nearly 5 km along the river, which is truly stunning. The petals are also very large, making it easier to take close-up shots compared to other places. 📷Photo Spots: It is recommended to walk counterclockwise along both sides of the riverbank to avoid the crowds and take photos freely. 🚇Transportation: Take the JR Izu Kyuko Line, which is a special cherry blossom train. Remember to book a seat on the left side (A) to enjoy a 10-minute coastal view, which is super beautiful. 📍JR Nishi-Hachioji Station⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: Both sides of the entire riverbank are lined with cherry blossom trees, which is very spectacular. There are also very few people, mostly locals jogging, so you can take photos freely. 📷Photo Spots: Every day at 14:10/16:25, two Chuo Line limited express trains will roar through the cherry blossom tunnel (arrive 20 minutes early to get a spot). 🚇Transportation: Exit the north exit of JR Chuo Line "Nishi-Hachioji Station," cross the overpass to "Oiwakecho Pedestrian Bridge." 📍Tokyo Skytree⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: A popular postcard location, with the world's tallest tower and cherry blossoms in the same frame. Many people like to take photos of the night cherry blossoms here, but I prefer to take photos on sunny days, which are more beautiful. 🚇Transportation: Take the Asakusa Line to "Oshiage Station" and exit at B3/ Take the Tobu Skytree Line directly. 📷Photo Spots: From 18:00 to 21:00, the Skytree will light up with cherry blossom pink lights! It is recommended to walk to Azumabashi Bridge to take photos of the river cherry blossoms and the double tower reflection. 🌚Tips: Be sure to come on a sunny day, as it looks really ugly on a cloudy day. 📍Shinjuku Gyoen⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: An urban garden with more than 70 kinds of cherry blossoms blooming in succession, with a flowering period of up to 1 month, so you won't miss it. 🚇Transportation: Take the Marunouchi Line to "Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station" and exit at Exit 1/ Walk 10 minutes from the south exit of JR "Shinjuku Station." 📷Photo Spots: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the lawn, cherry blossoms, and Shinjuku skyscrapers in the same frame in the garden area. 🌚Tips: There will be a lot of people after 11:00. 📍Yoyogi Park⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌸Features: Many local young people come here for picnics and cherry blossom viewing. It is also a filming location for many anime. There is a cherry blossom market every weekend, which I have attended once, and it is really lively. 🚇Transportation: Take the Chiyoda Line to "Yoyogi-Koen Station" and exit at Exit 4/ Walk 7 minutes from the Omotesando exit of JR "Harajuku Station."

Due to the warm winter this year, the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms are blooming earlier than usual and are about to reach their peak⚠️Normally, they start blooming in early February, but this year they have already started blooming from the end of January😵The best time to see them is about a week to 10 days, but unlike regular cherry blossoms, the color is deep, so I think you can still enjoy them when they are 50-60% in bloom!

During the event, many stalls are set up, so you can fill your stomach without going into any of the shops 😋 There are shops, but they are few and far between, so it's best to eat while walking along the river 💡 The area is lit up between 18:00 and 21:00, making for an even more fantastic view 😍✨ ▪️About the Kawazu Sakura Trees---- Here you'll find a large Kawazu Sakura tree 🌸It is said to have started when a cherry tree seedling discovered about 70 years ago was planted 🧐The tree faces the road and the sidewalk is narrow, so it may be difficult to take a photo, but please be careful of your surroundings and take a look! ▪️The best day to visit this year is around February ◯---- As of February 7th, it is forecast to be 10-20% in bloom, about a week earlier than last year! It's unclear what the weather will be like in the future, but it is predicted that the cherry blossoms will be 70% in bloom around February 14th, so if you're going on the weekend, it's a good idea to reserve your spot on the 17th or 18th of that week 💡 Perhaps the cherry blossoms will already be starting to fall by the following weekend 💦 The temperature is expected to rise again this weekend, so it will depend on that The photo posted was taken on February 24, 2023, and it was almost at its peak! ▪️If you're going from the city center, buy a limited express train in advance ------ If you're going from Tokyo or Yokohama, be sure to buy a ticket for the limited express train in advance 🎫 It's quite a distance away, and even if you take the limited express, it takes 2.5 hours from Tokyo Station and 2 hours from Yokohama Station. You don't have to take the limited express, but it will take an extra hour ⚠️ Also, the limited express trains fill up quickly during the peak viewing period! There are still some places where the peak viewing time is unknown, so I recommend buying tickets online in advance!

Come here at spring , if free entry , a perfect beautiful place to be. Hiking along the amazing 7 waterfalls and the forest is so refreshing. This place is worth a visit, it's peaceful here and the sound of the water relaxes the mind and heart. I suggest to bring a hand towel, extra tshirt and drink with you when you come, and also take a restroom first coz there is no restroom along the path. The pathways are well constructed but be prepared for the high and long stairways. This place is breathtaking..nature indeed is home. Will come here again for sure. One of the best hiking experience with nature.

#JapanTravel I just went to see cherry blossoms... Many friends exclaimed, Huh? In winter, the snow is still fluffy in Japan. Where did you go to see cherry blossoms? They are so beautiful. The answer... I went to see a type of winter cherry blossom that blooms before anyone else in Japan. It is the Kawazu type, named after the city where it was discovered, Kawazu. It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, which is a cape that juts out into the sea, called Cape Izu. Kawazu City is therefore by the sea. There is a canal from the sea through the middle of the city. On both sides of the canal or river, there are cherry blossoms planted for viewing for several kilometers. I got off the Limited Express Odoriko train from Tokyo and got off at Kawazu Station. I saw cherry blossoms right away. It was a short trip to Japan at the end of February, which was still winter in Japan. I got to ski and see cherry blossoms, two emotions in one trip. It was so beautiful... The cold weather, walking, sipping coffee, and seeing cherry blossoms in Kawazu.

Kawazu Sakura 🌸🌸 A sweet and fresh pink cherry blossom, an early blooming variety in Japan. The beautiful location along the Kawazu River, starting from Kawazu Station. Thousands of cherry trees line the river for over 4 km. making both sides of the river full of sweet and fresh pink. In addition to the colorful cherry blossoms, during the festival, there are also many restaurants selling sweet and savory dishes, souvenirs, and various souvenirs along the cherry blossom viewing path. And the most famous one, if anyone comes, don't miss it, "Taiyaki Sakura" is very delicious, 200 yen each. It's delicious to eat and beautiful to take a souvenir photo. Don't forget to stop by and buy some. Kawazu Sakura blooms beautifully from late February to early March. Each year, the season will vary slightly depending on the weather conditions. 🚄 Travel – Take the JR Odoriko train and get off at Kawazu Station. It takes about 2 hours and 35 minutes (you can use the Tokyo wide pass). – Take the Kodama Shinkansen and get off at Atami Station. Then transfer to the Ito/Izu kyuko line and get off at Kawazu Station. It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes in total. *** There may be more routes than this. This is the route we took from Tokyo.*** 📌 Kawazu Sakura location #TravelJapan #MissNature #WaitingForTheDayToTravel #TravelAbroad

This time, we will introduce the Kawazu Sakura Festival, an early-blooming cherry blossom festival that begins to bloom in early February. Kawazu Sakura is a specialty of Kawazu Town in the southern part of the Izu Peninsula, and the cherry blossoms that bloom along the riverside are a popular cherry blossom viewing spot. The full bloom period lasts about one week to ten days, but it seems that you can get a satisfying view of Kawazu Sakura when it is at least 50-60% in bloom. ◆Kawazu Sakura Festival◆ In 2023, it is scheduled to be held from February 1st to March 5th. You can check the flowering status on the official website of the Kawazu Sakura Festival, so check it out before deciding on a day to go. The nearest station is Izukyu Kawazu Station. ◆Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival◆ In Minamiizu Town, the Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival is also held, where you can enjoy Kawazu Sakura and Nanohana at the same time. In 2023, it is scheduled to be held from February 1st to March 10th. You can check the current flowering status on the official website of the Minamiizu Town Tourism Association. You can also see images from a live camera. (Apparently, the best time to see them is around February 15th to 25th.) #ShizuokaTourism #KawazuCherryBlossoms #IzuTourism #Minamiizu #Kawazu #IzuTrip #IzuDrive #ShizuokaTrip #ShizuokaPrefecture #ShizuokaPrefectureTrip #CherryBlossomViewing

If you want to see Japan's earliest #cherry blossoms🌸 you must visit #IzuKawazucho. Around mid-February to mid-March, the Kawazu region is full of cherry blossoms, as you can see by looking at the 2023 official website. Closed 3 years ago once flew to Tokyo, specifically to see Kawazu cherry blossoms. From Tokyo, take the Tetsu Yuko directly to Kawazu Station, about 2 hours and 40 minutes. The fare is very expensive, about HK$350 one way. Watching Kawazu Sakura really requires determination. It was already noon when we arrived at Kawazu Station. Many Japanese people watching cherry blossoms gather at Kawazu Station. There are stalls selling local fruits and dried fish on the roadside. I believe it will be more lively later. Cherry Blossom Viewing Location: I mainly walk the "Kawazu River" next to Kawazu Station. The Kawabe Cherry Blossom Tunnel extends about 4 kilometers, and there are more tourists here. Up close, the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Rui is larger and more pink. Villagers will sell fruits, vegetables, and specialty snacks on both sides. You can fill your stomach when you are tired of walking, but it's really hard to find a trash can😂. Walking a little further, you can see the "Kawazu Sakura Logs", the first Kawazu cherry trees, the logs are about 60 years old; Izuku soon gets into the evening and the store will close before six. It's easy to find food near the station. After dinner, you can enjoy the night cherry blossoms. Returning to the Kawazu River, the sky was gray and hazy, but spotlights illuminated both sides of the river to make it easier to enjoy the night cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, Izu is close to the sea, the weather changes greatly, soon there is a strong wind and heavy rain, tourists are fewer, but can not take beautiful photos of night cherry blossoms. 🤦‍♂️ Accommodation is recommended to book in advance. I remember three or four months before departure the hotel near Kawazu Station was full, only booked the "Kaneihama Coast" station mountain family-style small hotel, but than I eat the famous Kinmeji in the shikitaka-style hotel, can also soak a personal bath, great, and the owner and make friends. There are several hotels next to the station, such as the Imai Binto Kyu Hotel, which is rather expensive, but facing the coast, the view is excellent; After breakfast, we went to the hotel and took pictures wildly, because we didn't know when we would be back, to fill our memories. If you stay longer in Izu, you can go to Atami to soak in hot springs♨️ or visit Mount Omuro. You will definitely not be disappointed. #Izu Peninsula #Kawazu Sakura #Finding Your Travel Backpack #Kawazucho #Izu Imaihama Tokyu Hotel #Tokyo Suburbs #Kaneme Snapper

Kawazu, located in the Izu Peninsula of Japan, will start blooming in early February before slowly blooming until it reaches full bloom in the 3rd-4th week of February (unlike other cherry blossoms that only take 2 weeks from blooming to falling). However, it also depends on the weather each day. If anyone goes to Tokyo during the cherry blossom season, I recommend coming here.

This is Kawazu station, in Shizuoka prefecture. This is the place to be if you want to see early blooming Sakura! It usually holds the kawazu Sakura matsuri during the end of February to early March. There is a long stretch of matsuri stalls where you can buy amazake, crab stick cake and many more~ You can even stay overnight to see the night illumination of the Sakura trees. At the end of the stretch, you can also enjoy the sea view. #japan #shizuoka

Kawazu City in Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for its Kawazu cherry blossoms, which bloom earlier than other varieties, making it one of the earliest cherry blossom viewing spots in the Tokyo area and surrounding prefectures. Every year from mid-February to mid-March, when the cherry blossoms bloom, the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival is held, attracting people with pink cherry blossoms both in the city and along the river, and nighttime illuminations.

Kawazu is famous for the earliest cherry blossoms in the Kanto region, starting from the end of February to the beginning of March. Kawazu city is not far from Tokyo, about 2 40 minute train ride. Kawazu district is located on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. Every year, the Kawazu Sakura Festival is held. The highlight here is the cherry blossoms that are pink and extra large.

An eel restaurant called Juryo. I stopped by when I was in Izu, and unexpectedly found a delicious eel restaurant. The eels were plump and soft, and the flavor wasn't too strong, just right. It's located along the river, so I'd like to visit again during Kawazu cherry blossom season. #Izu #Kawazu #Eel #Eel #Japanese food #Japanese cuisine #Izu gourmet #trip2022

I went to 70 (Nanamaru) Cafe in Kawazu Town on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture! This time, I went to make dried flowers. The store manager will teach you how to make a flower arrangement from scratch. You can make your own dried flowers that are one of a kind! I also had a matcha latte at the end, which was very satisfying! There is also a flower shop next door, where you can purchase ornamental plants and flowers. Why not choose some flowers for your stay at home? At this time of year, you can also enjoy the autumn leaves! Please go and check it out. #cafe #Izu #Shizuoka #driedflowers #70cafe #autumnleaves #stayathome

Today, the Kawazu cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and although the weather was not sunny, it was good that it did not rain. I recommend the runaway route in Kawazu. (I took photos while walking and completed it in 3 hours) #相約樱花烂笑笑時 Start walking along the river from Kawazu Station. (If you have not eaten, I recommend eating a seafood bowl at Izu Kaisen Donburiya in front of the station. Since it is close to the sea, you can enjoy fresh seafood.) The cherry blossoms are mainly blooming on both sides of three bridges. Tatebashi (you can walk to Imaihama Beach by walking towards the seaside), Kunomiyabashi (there are many food stalls), and Toyoizumibashi (my personal favorite place, it is spacious and you can enjoy a thousand cherry blossoms at a glance). From both ends of this bridge, you can go to the Kawazu cherry tree and the hot spring Odoriko Onsen Kaikan where you can enjoy the cherry blossoms on a day trip. A little further away is the Nirvana Hall, which is a good place to mark if you are short of time. #It's not enough to go to Japan 1000 times #Kawazu cherry blossoms #Enjoying cherry blossoms #Cherry blossom season #When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom

Enjoy the charm of Kawazu cherry blossoms in early spring! Kawazu cherry blossoms are in full bloom from late February to March. Let's enjoy this famous cherry blossom spot that attracts many tourists every year. In Kawazu Town (Izu), more than 8,000 Kawazu cherry trees are planted along the Kawazu River for about 3.6 kilometers, and they bloom beautifully in early spring. You can see beautiful cherry blossoms right from Kawazu Station. During the cherry blossom festival, you can not only enjoy the cherry blossoms, but also enjoy delicious food stalls such as cherry blossom taiyaki, grilled oysters, mandarin orange juice, and grilled skewers. In Minami Izu, there are Kawazu cherry blossoms called Aonogawa Senkabu Sakura and about 3 hectares of rapeseed fields, which are a hidden cherry blossom spot where you can avoid crowds with a beautiful contrast of yellow and pink. The best time to see the flowers is from late February to March for Kawazu cherry blossoms, and from late January for the rapeseed fields. The cherry blossom festival is held from February 1st to March 9th in Kawazu Town and from February 1st to March 10th in Minami Izu. We will also introduce some delicious dining spots in the area.
