Old Nakagawa Waterfront Park

Old Nakagawa Waterfront Park

Aiming for a collaboration of Kawazu cherry blossoms and Sky Tree at the Old Nakagawa River Waterfront Park

At the Kyu-Nakagawa River Waterfront Park, Kawazu cherry trees bloom in early spring, turning the calm waterside scenery a gentle pink. The rows of cherry trees along the river are reflected in the water, creating a beautiful reflection on a windless day. The composition with the Sky Tree in the background is also impressive, and the tower over the branches of the cherry blossoms creates a picture in which the symbol of the city and the seasonal flowers are in harmony. Especially at sunrise and sunset, the ever-changing colors of the sky envelop the cherry blossoms, creating a fantastic and dramatic atmosphere.

Key points for photography

The key to taking pictures is to take advantage of the waterfront in the old Nakagawa Waterfront Park and choose a day when there is no wind to capture the reflections on the water surface. When capturing the rows of cherry trees and the Sky Tree in the frame at the same time, place the tower over the branches of the cherry trees to create depth and harmonize the urban and seasonal atmosphere. Also, by choosing a time of day such as sunrise or sunset, the changing colors of the sky and the pink of the Kawazu cherry blossoms will combine to create a fantastic and striking image.
