Chasing Sakura at Edogawa

#cherryblossom25 Kawazu Cherry Blossoms in Edogawa, Tokyo, are a special variety of sakura known for blooming earlier than most other cherry trees in Japan, typically around late February to early March. The Kawazu-zakura variety features vibrant pink blossoms that last longer than the more common Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms. In Edogawa, the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival takes place along the Edogawa River, where the cherry trees create a stunning pink canopy. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk or boat ride while admiring the blossoms. This early-blooming sakura offers a delightful opportunity to experience Japan’s cherry blossoms before the more widespread blooms appear.
