Kawa no Hiroba

Stunning secret sakura

Kawa no Hiroba is surprisingly unknown despite having a mix of stunning sakura (cherry blossoms). You can see cherry blossoms for more than two months at this small park, starting with kawazu early blooming cherries, then Somei Yoshino and finally yaezakura - late blooming cherry blossoms. The park is very basic and in the middle of nowhere, it might be why over the years I've only ever met a maximum of four other people there at the same time, but usually I have the place to myself! Great spot for sakura photos thanks to that though.
