The Kawazu-zakura cherry blossoms have become famous as some of the earliest-blooming cherry blossoms in Tokyo’s outlying areas. (Typically, cherry trees bloom in Tokyo between late March and early April.)
The outstanding characteristics of Kawazu-zakura are its large petals and the bright pink color. There are 8,000 cherry trees in Kawazu. „The Kawazu-zakura Cherry Blossom Festival“ is held during the blooming season and visited by a million of Japanese and foreign tourists.
