2018 WALK Around Kawazu Cherry Blossoms Festival - 桜Sakura Japan
The annual Kawazu Sakura Festival held in Kawazu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, will be held from 10th February to 10th March 2018 for a month. Kawazu Sakura is the early blooming cherry blossoms that will begin to bloom in early February every year in Kawazu town and will be in full bloom in early March. From the downstream of the ri river to the vicinity of the river mouth, a cherry blossom tree runs along the river for about 4 km. By the time it is in full bloom, the two-tone color of yellow rape blossoms and pink cherry blossoms can be clearly seen even from afar, making a beautiful landscape like a painting.
