★ The 16th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held under the theme of "Sightseeing spots Japan to visit in spring" We look forward to receiving many applications from you! This time, we will introduce "Asuka"'s post! The contrast between the rows of cherry blossoms and fresh greenery is impressive. The Shinkashi River is a small river that flows behind Hikawa Shrine in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. Especially in spring, beautiful rows of cherry blossom trees spread along this river, and it is crowded with many tourists. During the cherry blossom season, there is also a light-up where you can enjoy a fantastic view at night. In addition, there is a promenade by the river, so it is recommended to admire the cherry blossoms while strolling. ◆Hikawa Shrine◆ 【Address】 〒350-0851 Saitama-ken, Kawagoe-shi, Hikawa-cho 108 【Access】Get off at "Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Bus Stop" and walk a short distance

When I went to Kawagoe, there was a carp object in the building! It was a cute carp!

〝Kawagoe This is shaved ice〟 Because of the shaved ice of natural ice, it melts in the mouth and does not make the head keen, so it was not cold at all even in this season! !️

At the Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Palace. It was such a nice scenery even though it was cloudy and sometimes rainy!

Because I'm in Kawagoe now. I would like to introduce Kawagoe! !️ If you go for a sleepover, you can see Kawagoe without people at night! You can 🫣 enjoy a completely different space in a space without people than in the daytime.

Rape blossoms along the Edogawa River! I have been visiting every year since I got married, and this is my third time. The first time, when I was not even pregnant. The second time, I took a baby who couldn't even sit alone. This year, which was the third time, I was able to photograph my child who was able to stand on his own two feet. Even next year and beyond, when spring comes, it is a place that I want to visit every year and feel the growth.

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "ogishii". The scenery of the moss phlox carpet and Mt. Muko is superb. Located in Omiya, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, Hitsujiyama Park is a popular tourist destination in Saitama famous for its views of Mount Muko and moss phlox. moss phlox Hill, a moss phlox attraction in the southern area of the Hitsujiyama Park, is about 17,600 square meters in size. The superb view of 400,000 moss phlox of 9 types spreading all over is a must-see. It is also called "flower patchwork" because it is planted by combining various types of moss phlox. The best time to see it is usually mid-April ~ early May. How about a Golden Week outing? In addition to moss phlox, more than 1,000 cherry trees such as Somei Yoshino, weeping cherry blossoms, and Yae cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the park, and it is crowded with cherry blossom viewers and photographers. The best time to see them is usually in early ~ mid-April. Recommended cherry blossom spots are near the cherry blossom trees and lawn plaza on the slope to the hill with a view. The Hitsujiyama Park is full of attractions other than cherry blossoms. At the "Fureai Ranch" on the west side of moss phlox Hill, many sheep are kept and you can touch them directly. You can see the materials of Mt. Muko, which has been designated as one of Japan's 200 famous mountains, at the "Mt. Muko Museum". Another highlight is the museum "Yamato Ato Myujiamu" that exhibits the works of printmaker Shiko Munakata. ◆Hitsujiyama Park moss phlox Hill◆ 【Address】〒368-0023 Saitama-ken, Chichibu-shi, Omiya 6314 【Access】 ・Railway About a 20-minute walk from Seibu Railway Yokose Station About 20 minutes on foot from Seibu Chichibu Station ・Car From Kanetsu Expressway Hanazono IC, take National Route 140, Minano Yorii Bypass about 25 km

There is a beautiful woodblock painting of Shōzaburō Watanabe I once saw with the name "owl and cherryblossom" and never thought to see a nocturnal bird like owl can be seen on a broad daylight. So it is a rare sight for me and happy to capture a moment like this. It was taken from kita asaba sakura zutsumi of Saitama Prefecture.

She loves spring and never gets tired of taking photos during this season. We spend an afternoon in Kita Asaba Sakura Zutsumi Park with great pleasure. This photo was taken there as a memory before her return to her country.

The best thing about spring in Japan is that everyone enjoys it to the fullest. Whether it's humans like us or four-legged animals. In many places, I have seen dogs, cats, birds, and other animals walking around in the garden or park with their families during spring and taking beautiful pictures. Here in Kita asaba Sakura zutsumi park, this two cute Shiba Inu posed for almost five different photographers excluding me.

Two little sweet children came to wish luck to a beautiful would-be mommy at Kita asaba sakura zutsumi park, Saitama. My friend went there for her photoshoot and these two very cute girl happily pose with her and that made the frame so beautiful. This park is covered with beautiful pink cherry blossoms.

My today’s recommended place is Kawagoe’s Shingashi river side cherry blossom viewing spot. Though this place is really very close to #tokyo yet very few travellers actually know about this place. I’m not telling that it is a offbeat destination but not as much popular as it should be. Beautiful cherry blossom tree both side of the river and the falling petals all over the water made it so beautiful. Just imagine a boatride on a river of petals. surely it would be a unforgettable experience.

It is the cherry blossom of Kodama District, Saitama Prefecture, "Kodama Senbon Sakura". It is famous in the northern part of Saitama Prefecture. Beautiful cherry blossoms bloom every year. I'm looking forward to it again this year.

This time I want to recommend Kawagoe. This small town of kawagoe is known as condo little edo because till now this place offers the old days feeling. Its kind of time traveling. A great experience indeed. Yesterday I went once again because I was hoping to see another interesting part of this place and I was right. It looks like a place coming out of fairytale.

When I went to Tokorozawa Station for the first time in a long time on New Year's Day, I found an observation deck where I could see the railroad tracks. I wonder if it will not accumulate for railway lovers? I've been looking at it because it's a meeherヽ ́e '

It is 🙌 a spillway outside the Tokyo metropolitan area in Saitama Prefecture.
