📍Kawazu Cherry Blossoms Kawazu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture 《Access》 About 3 minutes on foot from Kawazu Station exit About 19 minutes on foot from Imaihama Kaigan Station exit ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ I've been to see Kawazu Cherry Blossoms in the daytime several times, so I wanted to see them at night too! So I finished dinner at the hotel early and headed to the cherry blossom avenue 🚗 It was about 20 minutes from the hotel. I went to the usual cherry blossom avenue, but only some of the lights were on? Hmm? Hmm? While thinking this, I passed several people in the dark... I asked the only food stall that was open... They said that due to the effects of COVID, only a part of the area near the station was open. 😳😳😳 I confirmed with the hotel that the lights were on, but I hadn't heard that they had scaled them down💦 I hurried over there and somehow made it in time for the lights to be turned off. Fantastic Kawazu night cherry blossoms that float in the night🌸～💕💕 I'm glad I got to see them~ If you're planning on going, make sure to check the location carefully. #Domestic travel #Izu #Izu trip #Kawazu cherry blossoms #Cherry blossoms at night #Cherry blossoms at night spot #0 yen trip January 2025

#myhiddengemsExperiencing the early bloom of Kawazu's cherry blossoms was an absolute delight. I took the shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Atami, followed by a rapid train to Kawazu Station. The journey lasted 45 minutes on the shinkansen and another 30 minutes on the rapid train. Along the way, I was treated to breathtaking views of the Izu Peninsula's rolling hills, stunning coastlines, and vibrant citrus orchards. Kawazu's cherry blossoms usually begin to bloom from late January to late February. So, if you're in Japan during winter, you still have the chance to experience the beauty of sakura season on the Izu Peninsula.

#springblossom Enchanting place where you can see and feel spring in winter time. I recommend going early as the crowd seems to arrive in drives around mid day. There are pop up shops where you can different snacks and festival food. It’s 100% dog friendly. i think there were many visitors with dogs than with children ☺️Make sure you check the train schedule on the way back because the intervals are quite long for the local train. You can take the express train but make sure to buy the express train ticket, which is all reserved seat, and it’s quite pricey.
