[Tsukumi] Kyushu's earliest cherry blossom news 🌸 Kawazu cherry blossoms 🌸

News of cherry blossoms arrive in February [Bungo Channel Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival🌸] The Shioura Peninsula in Tsukumi City, Oita Prefecture, is a famous spot where more than 5,000 Kawazu cherry trees bloom beautifully✨ They usually start blooming in early February and are at their best in mid-February. You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing before the regular cherry blossoms♪ Because it's a peninsula, the drive along the blue sea is also refreshing🚗 [Sakura SA] is a service area that is set up only during this time of year at the "Tsukumi Dolphin Island Parking Lot". A special information desk and food trucks will be available from February 8th to March 2nd, 2025♪ (10am-4pm) First, check the cherry blossom information here👍 "Tsukumi Dolphin Island" also has a product center and a village station Tsukumi Marche🎁 At the [Kuratani Special Cherry Blossom Viewing Venue], you can buy local specialties and eat snacks🍙 (10am-3pm) At the [Ochi Elementary School Sea Field Venue], you can grill and eat freshly caught seafood on the spot🔥 A large palm-sized abalone for 1200 yen! They were sold at market price❤️ In 2025, due to the cold wave, the cherry blossoms are said to be three weeks late. I planned my trip to coincide with the Kawazu cherry blossom season, so when I went on February 25th, the cherry blossoms were still only half in bloom, and the cherry blossom viewing venues were deciding to extend their opening hours one after another. It looks like the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in early March. The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival website has information on blooming and live cameras, so we recommend going at the best time♪ It takes about an hour and a half to get from Oita Airport to the Youra Observatory by rental car🚗 The peninsula has some one-lane roads, but most of the roads are easily accessible in regular cars. #KawazuCherryBlossoms #KawazuCherryBlossomFestival #Tsukumi #Oita #OitaTrip #CherryBlossoms #SeasonalPlacesInJapan
