This photograph captures the endless expanse of Anagoe cherry blossoms with a sense of curved beauty. Located in Sakado City, Saitama Prefecture, Kita Asaba Sakura Dike Park is renowned as a beautiful spot for its early-blooming cherry tree-lined path. The sight of approximately 200 Anagoe Kanzakura trees planted along the right bank of the Koshikabe River, blooming magnificently over a 1.2-kilometer stretch, is truly spectacular, offering an early glimpse of the cherry blossom season in early spring. Blooming earlier than typical cherry blossoms, the Anagoe Kanzakura heralds spring's arrival amidst lingering cold, their pink petals beautifully coloring the riverside scenery. This avenue is one of Sakado City's premier early-blooming cherry spots, attracting many visitors eager to enjoy its beauty during peak season. The avenue formed by the fully bloomed Anagoe Kanzakura stretches like a tunnel of cherry blossoms, offering a fantastical atmosphere to walkers. It's also popular with photography enthusiasts; the sight of the cherry trees lining the riverbank and the pink petals contrasting against the blue sky provide excellent photo opportunities. Furthermore, while this cherry blossom embankment is a famous spot attracting many tourists, it also offers a relaxed pace, making it ideal for those seeking a leisurely stroll. During the blooming season, the walking path is dyed a vibrant pink, allowing visitors to enjoy the cherry blossom avenue while listening to the gentle murmur of the river. We invite you to experience the spring scenery woven by the early-blooming cherry blossoms at Kita-Asaba Sakura-dike Park. Sakado City's unique cherry blossom avenue will guide you into the beautiful world of spring.
