🌸Matsuda Sakura Festival – Kanagawa (まつだ桜まつり – 神奈川)
Matsuda Sakura Festival
🌸A spring tradition held every year at Nishihirahata Park (Matsudayama Herb Garden).
About 360 early-blooming Kawazu cherry trees are planted here, and they are in full bloom from mid-February to mid-March.
The contrast with the yellow rape blossoms is breathtaking! No matter where you aim, you can take a beautiful picture
🗻There is also a spot where you can see Mt. Fuji.
📝However, since it is a very popular event, we recommend going first thing on a weekday morning! We went at 9am when it opened, and we were able to enjoy taking photos at our leisure.
