The early blooming "Okanzakura" on the Sumida River Terrace on the south side of Eitai Bridge West-filled has bloomed. There is a monument to "Seafarer Education Launch Site" in the immediate vicinity. Okanzakura is considered a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry. The tree height is about 5 to 10 meters, the canopy spreads greatly, and it is characterized by light red white, half-open and downward adjustment ahead of the leaves. Since it spread throughout the country from the logs in Angyo in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, it is also called "Angyo Kanzakura" and is counted as one of the leading cherry blossoms in early spring, prior to Yoshino cherry tree. And at once Japanese white-eye came to suck the nectar, squeezing and the bulbul. Along with "Kawazu Sakura" on the northeast side of Shinkawa Park Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge, you can feel the arrival of spring a little earlier.
