The Kawazu Sakura Festival is the earliest cherry blossom festival in eastern Japan. While most places on Honshu have to wait until mid-March for the flowers to bloom, the Kawazu trees bloom a month earlier. This makes the Kawazu Sakura Festival, which runs from February 2 to the end of February, very popular with visitors who are looking forward to the end of winter, the return of milder weather and spring scenery. The Kawazu trees bloom a month earlier than most places During the festival, the number of visitors exceeds 1 million per year The large petals of the Kawazu trees are a vivid pink, making them perfect for photo ops The festival spans from Kawazu Town to Mine Onsen, with the focus being the banks of the Kawazu River. Food stalls are set up along the streets along the river, where you can also buy local handicrafts and souvenirs. Various events are held to entertain and delight festival-goers, and at night the cherry trees are lit up with beautiful illuminations. Kawazu-cho is crowded with people because of the train station, so if you want to enjoy the fleeting cherry blossoms in peace, walk up the river to Mine Onsen.
