The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival, held in Kawazu, Izu, is a beautiful festival where you can see the town of Kawazu covered with pink cherry blossoms.
Kawazu Sakura is a type of cherry blossom tree that starts blooming earlier than most other cherry blossom trees, starting from around early February to early March.
The origin of Kawazu cherry blossoms dates back to 1955, when one of the local townspeople found a tree growing amongst the weeds in his back yard.
Back then the trees were called "Komine Sakura," but were renamed to ‘Kawazu Sakura’ in 1974.
The Kawazu Sakura is characterized by its large petals and pink color, and when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, a flurry of falling cherry blossoms creates the most beautiful scenery.

The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival is a popular festival that approximately one million tourists visit every year.
People enjoy the festival by taking a walk along the river, or having a picnic in the park while drinking and enjoying food from food stands.
It's often crowded so you might have to save a spot for a picnic beforehand.
There are outhouses at the festival, along with regular restrooms throughout the park.
