I have found myself lately feeling the scent of spring. In the Kanto area the cherry blossoms is blooming earlier than usual this year, with its peak sometime between late March and early April.
In Kawsasaki City there are many parks and green spaces that have a lot to offer. We'll introduce a couple of good places here to see the cherry blossoms.
Nikaryo Irrigation Channel (Tama Ward, 2-minutes walk from Shukugawara Station on the JR Nambu Line)
This historical irrigation channel was built during the Edo period. About 400 cherry trees line the watercourse for about 2 kilometers.
Asao River (Asao Ward, 3-minutes walk from Kakio Station on the Odakyu Line)
About 250 cherry trees line the river, weaving together overhead to form a pink tunnel.
Just as last year we are supposed to enjoy cherry blossoms quietly without having Hanami parties under the cherry trees, which might add a little extra je ne sais quoi.
