It is still February, but warm days continue, and early blooming kawazu-zakura (Kawazu Sakura) can be heard from everywhere.

kawazu-zakura is also blooming at Sendai Bridge Park, located at the foot of Sendai Bridge.

This is the kawazu-zakura of Sendai Bridge, which was introduced at night cherry blossoms last March.

kawazu-zakura's name comes from being discovered around 1955 in the Kawazu region of Minamiizu.

kawazu-zakura is estimated to be a natural hybrid of oshima cherry (Oshima Sakura) and Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura).

The flowers are pink or light red, with a darker pink color than Yoshino cherry tree, and a longer flowering period of one month.

In the small Sendai Bridge Park, there are also Yoko (sunlight), late blooming Fugenzo (fugen elephant), and weeping cherry tree (weeping cherry), where you can enjoy various cherry blossoms for a long time in the same park.
