What to expect
Kawagoe's cherry blossoms create a picturesque scene along the Shingashi River, where pink petals reflect in the water. The historic town's Edo-period architecture adds a timeless backdrop to the floral display.
Best viewing tips
For the best experience, take a boat ride on the Shingashi River in the late afternoon when the light is soft, enhancing the cherry blossoms' colors. Bring a camera to capture the contrast with the traditional buildings. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
