At the foot of Chuo-ohashi Bridge in Shinkawa Park, three Kawazu cherry trees, famous for their early blooming, are planted, and the flowers have begun to bloom again this year. Unlike Yoshino cherry tree, you can enjoy dark pink flowers for a month. Kawazu cherry blossoms were discovered by accident in Kawazu-cho, the southern shore of Izu Peninsula in 1955.
By the way, this Kawazu cherry tree is famous in the Tokyo metropolitan area is "Shinkawa Senbonzakura" in Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture. It seems that about 700 Kawazu cherry trees are located along the river called Shinkawa over 4.2 km, and it is the same "Shinkawa", but this is three in Chuo-ku. However, many people stop every year and see the flowering condition, and it is loved by local people.
At the Hatchobori side of Takahashi over the Kamejima River, about a 5-minute walk from here, the area around Inari Bridge over the reclaimed Sakuragawa River has become a little Shinsui-Koen Park in recent years, and Kawazu cherry blossoms have been planted there as well.
Did you plant it in connection with Sakuragawa, which has just left a name at the pumping station now?
By the way, Sakuragawa used to be called Hatchobori in the past, and was the digging that was the origin of the current town name.
In both Shinkawa Park and Hatchobori, Yoshino cherry tree is planted in the children's park on the opposite side of the Kamejima River, and it seems that the overture of the cherry blossoms following Kawazu Sakura and Yoshino cherry tree began to play.
