<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBlooming from early February, the trees are generally the first to bloom in all of Japan and are a wonderful sight to behold if you’re eager for sunshine and spring. Kawazu is also an easy day trip from Tokyo, making it a good option if you’re looking to get away from the crowds of Tokyo’s sakura viewing destinations<\/a>. Their blooming season is roughly a month to mid-March but can be shortened if it’s rather warm and windy, which enforces the delicate beauty and rarity of Japanese sakura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThese particular sakura trees are known as Kawazu-zakura<\/strong> and are distinguished by their dark pink, larger petals. It is thought to be the natural hybrid of “Oshima-Zakura” and “Kanhi-Zakura” and has been the official flower of Kawazu since April 1975. The original tree is a short walk from the main Namiki and is actually on the grounds of a private residence. It is over 60 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
