One hour from Tokyo! A hidden cherry blossom spot in Saitama: Aogehorikawa Kawazuzakura

🌸Aoge Horikawa, the finale of this year's early-blooming cherry blossoms 🌸Aoge Horikawa, a famous spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms, a hidden gem in Saitama Prefecture. Kawazu cherry blossoms are planted along the river for about 2.5 kilometers, and about 300 cherry trees will be in full bloom in early March. Rape blossoms are also planted under the cherry blossoms, and the pink cherry blossoms and yellow rape blossoms create a romantic spring scene. 🌸It's very quiet here, and there are few convenience stores, so there are few people who know about it and few tourists who visit. The Kawazu cherry trees are low, making it perfect for taking photos of people. About an hour from Tokyo on the Tobu Line, leave the east exit of Washinomiya Station and go straight, and you'll see the beautiful cherry blossoms in about 5 minutes. There is a small shop on the left side of the station where you can rent a bicycle, which you can rent for 400 yen a day. The owner is a very kind old lady. 🌸This spring has been warmer than usual, and the cherry blossoms are blooming and falling earlier. The Kawazu cherry blossoms along Aogehori River are already in the final stages, and there were many leaves when I visited on the 12th. You may be able to enjoy the full bloom in a few more days, but by next weekend there will only be leaves. This is the last time to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms this year! 🌸 … 📍: Kawazu cherry blossoms along Aogehori River Washinomiya 1-chome, Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture 🚃: Leave the east exit of Washinomiya Station on the Tobu Line and go straight for about 5 minutes. 📆Photo date: 2023.3.9 #SaitamaSakura #SpringScenery #TravelInJapan
