Kawazu-zakura Park

Kawazu-zakura Park

河津桜公園

Shizuoka · Chubu

Kawazu-zakura Park is renowned for its stunning early-blooming cherry blossoms, the Kawazu cherry trees, which typically bloom in February and March. The park features a picturesque walkway lined with these vibrant pink blossoms, making it a perfect spot for hanami (flower viewing) and photography.

Why we picked it

Many travelers overlook this park as it is located in a less touristy area compared to more famous cherry blossom spots.
