 Three Kawazu cherry trees (kawazu-zakura) planted on the northeast side of Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Shinkawa Park/Sumida River Terrace, are blooming.

It is said to be an interseed hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry. The flower color is pink or light red, and the petals are more red than Yoshino cherry tree.

At the beginning of the cherry blossom season, usually begins to bloom in early February, and is in full bloom about a month later.

One of the features is that you can enjoy the flowering process and keep the full bloom for a certain period of time.

When it blooms for 6 to 8 minutes, the flowers have momentum and are said to be beautiful.

However, the flowering time seems to be greatly affected by the weather of the year, and it is said that it blooms early in the beginning of the year, but it is said that it is very difficult to make the flowering forecast because it is delayed after mid-February .

In Kawazu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, where the cherry blossoms are derived, about 800 trees are planted along the Kawazu River, which is 4 km long, and about 8,000 trees are planted throughout the town. Kawazu Sakura Festival is held.

It blooms early this year, and it is said that it blooms for 3 minutes now.

In addition, Kawazu cherry blossoms on the Sumida River Terrace can be enjoyed at night with the lights of the outside lights. (upper right)
