A Spring Stroll Through Sakura: Izu-Kogen’s Dreamy Cherry Blossom Tunnel

Just a few minutes’ walk from Izu-Kogen Station, a tunnel of cherry blossoms begins to unfold. This tree-lined path stretches for about 3 kilometers and is covered in full bloom with Somei Yoshino cherry trees in spring. Walking slowly beneath the falling petals feels like stepping into a scene from a movie. The cherry blossoms, bathed in soft light, look stunning not only on sunny days but also under a gentle overcast sky. For a truly serene experience, we recommend an early morning stroll when the path is still quiet and empty. Best viewing period: Late March to early April (may vary by year) Location: Just outside Izu-Kogen Station on the Izu Kyuko Line Access: About 2 hours from Tokyo Station via the Limited Express Odoriko Length: Approximately 3 kilometers Recommended time of day: Early morning or late afternoon Nearby attractions: Izu Shaboten Zoo, Jogasaki Coast, and more --- 伊豆高原駅を出て歩いて数分、桜がつくるトンネルの道が始まります。約3kmにわたって続く並木道は、春になるとソメイヨシノで満開に。花びらが舞うなかをゆっくり歩けば、まるで映画のワンシーンのよう。晴れの日はもちろん、少し曇った日でも、やわらかな光に包まれた桜がしっとりと美しい。朝の静けさの中、誰もいない道を歩く贅沢もおすすめです。 見頃：3月下旬〜4月上旬（年により変動あり） 場所：伊豆急行・伊豆高原駅からすぐ アクセス：東京駅から特急踊り子号で約2時間 全長：約3km おすすめ時間帯：早朝または夕方 周辺スポット：伊豆シャボテン動物公園、城ヶ崎海岸など #aprilblooms #springinjapan
