 Three Kawazu cherry blossoms planted in the tree-planting zone on the sunny northeast side of Chuo-ohashi Bridge on the Sumida River Terrace of Shinkawa Park bloom as soon as possible.

It is considered to be an interseed hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, and its flower color is pink or light red, giving a strong impression of red petals compared to Yoshino cherry tree.

At the beginning of the cherry blossom season, usually in early February

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

The flowering time seems to be greatly affected by the weather of the year, and I hear that it is very difficult to predict flowering.

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