A Spring Stroll Through Sakura: Izu-Kogen’s Dreamy Cherry Blossom Tunnel
Just a few minutes’ walk from Izu-Kogen Station, a tunnel of cherry blossoms begins to unfold. This tree-lined path stretches for about 3 kilometers and is covered in full bloom with Somei Yoshino cherry trees in spring. Walking slowly beneath the falling petals feels like stepping into a scene from a movie. The cherry blossoms, bathed in soft light, look stunning not only on sunny days but also under a gentle overcast sky. For a truly serene experience, we recommend an early morning stroll when the path is still quiet and empty.
