　Three Kawazu cherry blossoms planted in a sunny tree planting zone on the northeast side of the Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge along Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) along the Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge have bloomed. Kawazu Sakura is a natural hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, and its flower color is pink or light red. Compared to Yoshino cherry tree, the petals are more red and early blooming. One of the characteristics of the cherry blossom season is that, unlike Yoshino cherry tree, which usually starts to bloom in early February and is in full bloom about a month later, blooms suddenly and scatters.　Although the flowers do not scatter after full bloom, the leaves come out and the momentum of the flowers fade, so it is considered the most beautiful flower appearance when it blooms six to eight minutes.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The flowering time is greatly affected by the weather of the year, and I hear that the flowering forecast is difficult to read until just before.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In Kawazu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, where Kawazu-zakura is derived, approximately 8,000 trees are planted throughout the town, centering on about 850 rows of cherry trees along the Kawazu River, which stretches for about 4 km, and visitors can enjoy the contrast with canola flower.
