🌸 Kawazu Sakura is in Full Bloom!

The beautiful Kawazu cherry blossoms along the river are now at their peak! The Kawazu Sakura Festival has been extended from March 1 (Sat) to March 9 (Sun)!

◇What is Kawazu Sakura?
Discovered in Kawazu Town, Shizuoka, Kawazu Sakura (カワヅザクラ) is a unique early-blooming cherry blossom. Unlike the common Somei Yoshino variety, Kawazu Sakura has larger flowers and a vibrant pink color.

◇Why is Kawazu Sakura so special?
One of the biggest reasons for its popularity is its long blooming period—unlike other cherry blossoms, which fade quickly, Kawazu Sakura lasts for weeks, making it a perfect way to enjoy Japan’s sakura season earlier than usual.
Don’t miss this breathtaking pink scenery along the Kawazu River!

Visitors are greeted by the 1,200 stone rakan statues, donated by pilgrims.
