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.

Spring in Japan means cities surrounded by rows of cherry blossom trees, but whenever we imagine we think about light pink or white flowers and their fragile petals fluttering in the breeze. But these dark pink cherry blossoms are also gorgeous and they bloom much before than common sakura. These flowers are called Kawazu zakura and you can see this grand view if you visit this town from late Feb to early march.

A rocky area near Hayama and Chojagasaki. The sunset just before setting and the reflection in the puddle are beautiful. For a moment, it feels like it's not Japan, but there are many places like this near the city center.

My today's recommendation is Kawazu city. Kawazu cherry blossoms are early-blooming cherry blossoms that begin to bloom from mid-February to early March every year in Kawazu city of Shizuoka Prefecture. During that period a several hundred cherry trees blooms along the both side of river. Unlike the normal cherry blossom this kawazu cherry blossoms are bright colors. In a short distance one can also see the mountains on one side and sea on the other side. The river water is crystal clear. Most importantly, the local peoples are very tourist friendly.

Tsuruyama Park in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture is a symbol of Tsuyama City, which has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots" in Japan Okayama Prefecture. The scenery with about 1,000 cherry trees in full bloom is wonderful. The cherry blossoms lit up at night have another beauty.

At the roadside station "Kasaoka Bay Farm" in Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture, you can enjoy seasonal flowers. In February, rape blossoms are in full bloom.

My today's recommended tourist spot is Fukaya green park. Cherry blossom season is coming soon and here I want to recommended this place. The overall area of the park is not very large but its well organized. A combination of tulip and cherry blossom can be seen here at the same time.

I went to Nagaragawa Onsen in Gifu Prefecture, in the morning When I looked up at Gifu Castle, I saw a wonderful moon. I took a picture of Gifu Castle and the moon.

It is Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine in Wakayama. I visited in the moon of light rain, and the forest behind the large shrine was hazy and majestic and beautiful.

Today's place is 昭和記念公園. Spring is one of the best times here in Japan. In Tokyo, this park is the perfect place to find almost all kinds of spring flowers.

The wooden school building in Yamamoto, Iida City, is a nationally registered tangible cultural property. After the school closed, it was also used as a filming location for movies. The large drooping cherry blossoms in front of the school building blooming in spring are a spectacular location. It is a warm spot with a gentle atmosphere and I hope many people will visit.

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.

Along the tracks of the abandoned former Taguchi Line, local residents and the youth section of the Kawazu Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kawazuoka Prefecture worked together to plant 100 Kawazu cherry trees. It is called the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" and the row of cherry blossom trees seen from the tunnel makes you feel the arrival of spring.

It is the largest Kawazu cherry blossom in the western area of Shizuoka Prefecture, and is now a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that many people visit from outside the city. The time when the morning sun shines is very fantastic, and the deep pink Kawazu cherry blossoms shine in fantastic colors in the morning sun.

The cherry blossoms of southern Izu, which are in full bloom at the end of February, are dark pink and very cute in combination with rape blossoms. There are 800 cherry blossom trees lined with trees on both banks of the Aono River, so you can enjoy it while taking a leisurely stroll. It is not an easy place to get to, such as by bus or private car, but it is recommended because it makes you feel more special.

Today, in the series "Kobe, Rediscovered", we will deliver the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" in Nada Ward, a famous place for cherry blossoms, as the seventh stage. The weather has finally passed spring, and the cherry blossom season is approaching again this year. This famous spot in Takao-dori, Nada-ku, Kobe City, is a slope of about 400 meters from north to south, and 70 old Yoshino cherry trees are planted on both sides of the road. This row of cherry blossom trees was planted in the Taisho era at the same time as the opening of the Maya Cable. The appearance is shaped like branches and leaves on both sides covering the road like a tunnel, so I think you can comfortably enjoy the cherry blossom trees if you walk through it leisurely. The photo was taken on April 2 of last year, when it was in full bloom. The petals in the foreground are dyed red by traffic lights (photographing the cherry blossoms at night before dawn) Please note that during the flowering season, there are a little more people passing by, and this is a road that city buses also pass through. At the top of the hill is the Maya Cable station. You can go to the top of Mt. Maya by cable car, so next time I would like to deliver the night view from the Kikuseidai.

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.

Kibara School in Iida, Nagano Prefecture It is a wonderful location that will leave the viewer at ease, different from the powerful view with the large weeping cherry blossoms and wooden school building used as a movie location. I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom again this year.

While the illumination of the cherry blossoms at night is canceled across the Coronavirus pandemic, the cherry blossoms of the Meguro River are illuminated by ordinary street lamps. It's a pity that there is no illumination, but I was able to reaffirm the beauty of the place.

It's a facility hidden gem known only to those in the know.
