Feel the rows of cherry trees along the river and the early spring air at Shinkawa Senbonzakura
Shinkawa Senbonzakura in Yachiyo City is a popular local cherry blossom spot where visitors can feel the arrival of spring early. Many of the cherry trees are in early bloom, and the scenery along the river turns a gentle pink when the weather is still chilly. The long rows of cherry trees along the Shinkawa River give a sense of openness, making it an attractive place to take a stroll and enjoy spring at a leisurely pace. When the cherry trees are in full bloom, they fill the entire field of view, creating a spectacular atmosphere that makes you want to stop and take a look. This is the perfect spot for those who want to experience spring ahead of time or those who want to relax and enjoy the season in a calm atmosphere without being too crowded.
Key points for photography
The key to shooting is to be aware of how to show the charm of a long line of cherry trees. A straight line of trees is powerful, but if you want to emphasize depth, look for a place along the river where there is a curve or where the line of trees turns gently. The rows and rows of cherry trees will naturally lead the viewer's eye to the back of the scene, creating a sense of scale. If you take in the cherry blossoms in the foreground in a slightly larger size and compose the image so that the row of trees grows toward the back, you can express the "length" and "expanse" that is unique to the Shinkawa Senbonzakura in a more impressive manner.
