Today is the final day of the three-day weekend. It felt unusually warm for February. Many guests came to visit, and we thank you very much.
This is the view from the observation deck at Sakuma Dam Lake. The Kawazu cherry blossoms are starting to turn into leafy trees, but you can still see them.

Yesterday we held the “Small Bamboo Light Market” in front of Ohanami Hiroba Mae at Sakuma Dam Lake. Many people came and purchased vegetables from Kyonan, miso soup, amazake, and rice balls.
Thank you for coming out in the cold.
We had many conversations with visitors who came to see the “Yoritomo Cherry and Bamboo Lights” illumination. Some were a couple who had just moved here, some commute to Kyonan, and others said, “I saw it online and was interested, so I came.”
We hope you were satisfied.
The bamboo light illumination at Sakuma Dam Lake runs through March 14, so please come and see it. The hours are 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

In particular, the flowering of Yoritomo cherry is progressing in the Lake Sakuma Lakeside and Okuzure Narcissus Village areas.

Kyonan Town announced the blooming of the Yoritomo cherry on January 20. Having received Kawazu cherry trees from Kawazu Town, Kyonan Town calls them "Yoritomo cherry" in honor of the historical episode in which Minamoto no Yoritomo, defeated in battle, is said to have landed at Ryugashima Coast and planned his comeback.
You can enjoy daffodils well into this month, so you can admire daffodils and Kawazu cherry blossoms together.
From Saturday, February 7, the Hotagawa River–Yoritomo Cherry Village Development Committee will place bamboo lanterns along the Daffodil Lane at Sakuma Dam Park and illuminate them at night.
The floral relay continues, so everyone, please come and visit.
