Walking along the rows of cherry trees blooming along the river in early spring at the Atami Sakura Itogawa Cherry Blossom Festival

The Atami Sakura Itogawa Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual early-blooming cherry blossom event held in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, offering an early taste of spring. The Atami cherry trees along Itogawa River bloom earlier than other cherry trees, and visitors can enjoy the peaceful scenery of cherry trees and the riverside while strolling along the promenade. During the festival, there are also food stalls selling local specialties and events, making it a great place to spend a relaxing time while sightseeing. For those who want to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the early spring air, the Atami Sakura Itogawa Cherry Blossom Festival in Atami City is a recommended spot.

Key points for photography

In addition to checking the blooming status of the Atami cherry trees in advance because they bloom very early, you should also include the townscape, the atmosphere of the Itogawa River area, and in some places, the ocean in your composition to create a shot that conveys Atami's unique atmosphere.
