In Minami-Izu Town, 800 Kawazu cherry trees and 200 Somei-Yoshino together are called the Thousand Cherry Trees. After the Kawazu cherry season (around mid-February) passes, the Somei-Yoshino season follows (they usually peak in early April). We have prepared the following guide map for the Somei-Yoshino cherry trees; please use it as a reference. *They are expected to be at their best from April 6th to 9th.* The weather tends to be perfect for strolling at that time, so why not take a leisurely walk?

*The images are from past events.* From Tuesday, April 9 through Tuesday, April 16, the Ichimura Kiyoshi Technical Foundation Botanical Research Garden will open to the public for its spring viewing. Seikeisō was the villa of the late Ricoh San-Ai Group founders Kiyoshi and Yukie Ichimura. Later used as a company retreat by the Ricoh San-Ai Group, it was bequeathed to the foundation in 1988 according to the late Mrs. Yukie’s wishes after her passing. A mountain stream runs through the garden, and many trees, flowering plants and mosses form a rich plant ecosystem. Below the garden you can see Sagami Bay and Hatsushima; farther out, Izu Oshima appears on the horizon, while surrounding mountains and trees shelter the site. Normally the garden is used only by researchers involved in plant studies, but it opens to the public twice a year: in spring when fresh green leaves and flowers are at their best, and in autumn when the foliage turns vibrant. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the beautiful spring garden. Ichimura Kiyoshi Technical Foundation Botanical Research Garden — Spring Public Opening Period: Tuesday, April 9 to Tuesday, April 16, 2024 Address: 11-8 Ainokahara-cho, Atami City Phone: 0557-81-2656 Opening hours: 9:30 (gate opens) to 15:30 (gate closes) Admission: Free Access: From JR Atami Station or JR Kinomiya Station, take a bus bound for Ainokahara Housing Complex, get off at Kamiainekahara, then walk about 50 m downhill. Please note that the schedule may change suddenly depending on circumstances, so check the foundation’s website before visiting.

Fukinoyama rises to 550 meters near the border between Matsuzaki and Nishi-Izu towns, northeast of Matsuzaki town center and alongside Mount Chokuro of the Amagi range. At the summit stands Hozoin, a Soto Zen temple founded as a sacred esoteric site by Kukai (Kobo Daishi) in the 3rd year of the Dado era; it was originally called Fukino Jizo Mikkyoin. In the Muromachi period it flourished as a great sacred site with 88 branch temples, but it later fell into decline and was revived by the monk Iwanaka. During the Bunki years (1501–1504), Seian, the fourth head priest of Fumon-in in Kawazu, converted from Shingon to Soto Buddhism, and the temple gained the name Hozoin from that time. The temple grounds are densely wooded, featuring the largest cedar in Minami-Izu, estimated at about 400 years old (6.5 m in circumference, 34 m tall), and a 150-year-old Oshima cherry tree. Along the approach, more than 180 stone statues known as "field Buddhas" line up in a rare sight. The moss-covered stone figures of Dainichi Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, Amida Nyorai, Jizo, Kannon, Kobo Daishi and others have a quietly desolate air, as if chanting the impermanence of human life. The site is also the 7th sacred stop on the Izu Yokomichi 33 Kannon pilgrimage.

In the western and southern parts of the Izu Peninsula, widespread deposits from ancient submarine volcanic eruptions are found. After a long era of submarine volcanism, the whole of Izu uplifted and emerged onto land, and subsequent erosion sculpted the landscape we see today, allowing us to view beautiful internal structures that would originally have remained buried underground. Among the submarine volcanic deposits, volcanic ash and pumice that settled on the seafloor preserved features such as bedding and, over long periods, lithified into rock. These stones became valued as a soft, easily worked, and heat-resistant building material known as Izu stone, and until around the early Showa period they were quarried and shipped from various parts of Izu. Muroiwa Cave was a quarry that operated from the Edo period until 1954 (Showa 29), and it remains one of the few places where visitors can see the site largely as it was in those days.

Along about six kilometers from the mouth of the Nakagawa River, which runs through the center of Matsuzakicho, to Osawa Onsen, roughly 1,200 Somei-yoshino cherry trees are planted, creating a famous cherry-blossom spot that reaches full bloom from late March to early April. You can also enjoy it together with the concurrently held flower fields in rice paddies. During the blooming season, the evening cherry blossoms are lit up, and the reflection of the trees in the Nakagawa River creates a magical scene.

On about 30,000 square meters of fallow rice paddies, seeds of six flowers—African marigold, borage, baby snapdragon, daisy, poppy, and cornflower—are sown. From mid-February each year they bloom in sequence, turning the whole area into a vast flower field that delights every visitor and has come to represent Matsuzakicho. Within the flower fields, lifelike scarecrows resembling people and animals, a Flower Field Shrine (a torii made of flowers), and a foot bath are installed. From May 1 to May 5 during Golden Week, visitors may pick flowers free of charge. From late March to early April, you can also enjoy the cherry tree-lined Nakagawa River—about 6 kilometers and roughly 1,200 trees—making the site a lively attraction each year.

Atami Station, operated by JR East and opened in 1925 (Taishō 14), celebrated its 99th anniversary yesterday on Monday, March 25. On the previous day, Sunday, March 24, a high-grade train not normally in regular service—the E655 series “Nagomi” (all seats are Green Car specification)—made a round trip between Shinagawa Station and Atami Station, carrying 105 passengers to Atami. Tickets sold out within five minutes of sales opening, a phenomenal response. Many rail fans gathered and photographed the special train as it arrived on the platform. A welcome ceremony took place on the Atami Station platform, featuring a performance by the Atami High School Eisa Club and greetings from Mamekko, the official character of the Atami Geigi Okiya Union, and Atsuo, the official character of the Atami Onsen Hotel and Ryokan Cooperative.
