Nishihirahata Park in Matsuda Town, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a popular photography spot where you can enjoy early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms. During the annual "Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival," Kawazu cherry trees bloom profusely, covering the slopes of Matsuda Mountain and transforming the entire area into a vivid pink. A major attraction is the view from the park's elevated areas, offering a collaboration of cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers alongside the majestic sight of Mount Fuji and Sagami Bay.
