 Tips about Kawazu

Kawazu is a charming town on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula, famous for its early-blooming cherry blossoms and natural hot springs. It offers a peaceful blend of scenic beauty and local tradition.

- What to do: Walk the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Trail in February, hike to the Kawazu Seven Waterfalls, relax in a riverside onsen and visit the tropical greenhouse at Kawazu Bagatelle Park.

What to eat: Cherry blossom-themed sweets during the festival, fresh seafood from the nearby coast and wasabi dishes made with local produce.

What to avoid: Expecting cherry blossoms outside February–March and trying to visit all waterfalls without proper shoes.

Tips: Visit during the Kawazu Sakura Festival for a unique experience, bring cash—some shops don’t accept cards and combine your trip with a stop in nearby Shimoda or Izu.
