- 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.
