When the Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom each year, we Japanese are reminded just how much we truly love cherry blossoms, and our hearts dance as we look forward to the mountain-dyeing yamazakura and the cherry-lined banks of the Aono River.
Please enjoy a relaxed, countryside-style hanami in Minami-Izu from a kayak, a very different experience from the urban cherry-viewing in central Tokyo.
For lunch we provide the annual chirashi sushi—let’s eat beneath the cherry trees. After lunch we will, of course, head out for strawberry picking.
This year we welcome participants from elementary school age.

Ihama Margaret Garden
At Ihama Margaret Garden in Minami-Izu Town, you can admire and pick the town-designated flower, the margaret.
The flower language is “true love and true friendship.” Its origin comes from its use in love divination.
If you want to express your feelings but find it hard to say, giving a margaret might be one way to do it.
This flower is also considered important for people taking entrance exams.
The reason is said to be that the flowers don’t fall (so you won’t fail the exam).
Either way, it may be a flower that supports your own determination.
Period: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 until supplies last
Time: 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
Fee: Free (up to 10 stems per person)
Scissors available for loan
Venue: Ihama Coast
