Kawazu Cherry Blossoms – Japan’s Earliest Sign of Spring
Known as one of the earliest cherry blossoms to bloom in Japan, Kawazu-zakura announce the arrival of spring well before the famous Somei Yoshino.
In 2026, the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival will be held from February 7 (Sat) to March 8 (Sun).

With their deep pink petals, the cherry trees lining the Kawazu River create a breathtaking spring landscape that captivates visitors every year. Strolling beneath the blossoms is a truly unforgettable seasonal experience.
After enjoying the cherry blossoms, retreat to Zagyosoh, a tranquil ryokan nestled in the natural surroundings of Izu Kogen. Relax in soothing hot spring baths and savor seasonal Japanese cuisine, thoughtfully prepared with local ingredients—an ideal way to complete your spring journey.
