Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival: Spring’s Early Arrival

#cherryblossom25 Located in Nishihirabatake Park, Kanagawa, the Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival welcomes spring early with vivid Kawazu-zakura blossoms blooming from February to mid-March. Bright pink sakura trees and golden rapeseed flowers create a striking contrast, especially with Mount Fuji in the distance. Visitors enjoy local food stalls, scenic walks, and nighttime illuminations. Just a short trip from Tokyo, this hillside park offers a peaceful, colorful hanami experience before the main cherry blossom season begins across Japan.
