At the Old Nakagawa Riverside Park, early spring brings the beautiful blooming of Kawazu cherry blossoms, dyeing the tranquil waterside scenery a vivid pink. The cherry trees lining the riverbank reflect on the water's surface, offering especially beautiful reflections on windless days.Compositions featuring Tokyo Skytree in the background are another highlight. Framing the Skytree through the cherry blossom branches creates striking photos where the city's symbol harmonizes with the seasonal flowers. Especially during sunrise or sunset, the sky's ever-changing hues combine with the blossoms to create a fantastical atmosphere.
