Hazenomori Park in Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture, is a tranquil park where visitors can experience nature throughout the seasons. Especially in early spring, the beautiful blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms allow visitors to feel the arrival of spring. The park is blanketed with deep pink Kawazu cherry blossoms, and this vibrant scene makes you feel as if you've wandered into another world. The sight of the cherry blossoms bathed in the gentle spring sunlight is a beauty that never grows old, no matter how many times you see it. The Kawazu cherry blossoms blooming in Hazunomori Park are characterized by their earlier flowering period compared to typical cherry blossoms. They reach their peak from February to early March, beloved as flowers that herald spring's arrival early, even when the chill lingers. The park's highlight is the orderly rows of Kawazu cherry trees planted along the hillside. The blossoms covering the slope create a breathtakingly beautiful sight, offering a spectacular view reminiscent of a vast pink carpet.
