The cherry blossom season is upon us!

The first week of April finally brings the cherry blossom season to the Tokyo area. Despite the lack of clear skies, it doesn't hinder people's mood to enjoy the flowers. Compared to the famous Ueno Park and Meguro River in the Tokyo area, a less well-known spot in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, the Nike Reclamation Water and Shibukawa, was chosen. Hundreds of cherry trees are planted along the small river. With relatively fewer visitors, one can take their time to admire the pale pink Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms. When in full bloom, the cherry colors are dazzling, and the fallen petals are a colorful flurry. The romantic essence of cherry blossoms, combined with the atmosphere, immerses every visitor. Many locals, together with family and friends, bring delicious food and wine, sit under the cherry trees, and enjoy the beautiful cherry blossom scenery while tasting the food. A week later, the fleeting cherry blossom blizzard of spring will arrive. Address: Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City Transportation: Get off at Musashi-Kosugi Station, about a ten-minute walk.
