This photo was taken with careful consideration of the balance between the branches of the cherry tree in the foreground and the avenue of trees in the background. Kitashibahane Sakura Dike Park in Sakado City, Saitama Prefecture, is a popular cherry blossom spot that heralds the arrival of spring, featuring a spectacular avenue of cherry trees stretching approximately 1.2 km. Among them, the early-blooming Anago cherry blossoms are one of the park's major attractions.Anago cherry blossoms bloom slightly earlier than Somei Yoshino, characterized by their pale pink petals. Their vigorous blooming even in the lingering chill of the season is particularly striking. As the harbingers of spring, Anago cherry blossoms offer visitors a heartwarming sight, further heightening the anticipation for the season ahead.
