Nakagawa Cherry Blossom Trees

Nakagawa Cherry Blossom Trees

The cherry blossom trees on the bank of Nakagawa River are one of the most popular cherry-blossom spots in the Nishi-izu area.
Approximately 1,200 Somei Yoshino cherry trees are planted in an area about 6 km long along the river from the mouth of the Nakagawa River which flows in the center of Matsuzaki town to Osawa onsen, and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom from late March through early April.

It is said that the local people planted the cherry blossom trees along the river in the early 1960s, and now it one of the biggest sightseeing spots in the town.
During the cherry blossom season, the trees are lit up in the 900-meter-long Naka bypass area, so you can also enjoy the cherry blossoms at night.

Highlights

It is also recommended to take the Nakagawa Hanami Boat, where you can enjoy cherry-blossom viewing from the water while rowing a 10-seater canoe.

Furthermore, on the other side of the Naka bypass, the opposite side of the Nakagawa River, there is a splendid flower garden measuring about 50,000 square meters, which was created using paddy fields that were not being used.
Six kinds of flowers bloom in the “Paddy field flower garden”, one after another.
Especially, just before the cherry blossoms open, colorful orange and yellow African calendulas are in full bloom.

The combination of cherry blossoms and the flowers in the garden is breathtakingly beautiful in full spring.
