This photo shows a row of cherry trees along the Shinkagishi River together with a boatman on a boat moving along the river. I felt the peaceful flow of time in this Japanese landscape. If you want to slowly savor Kawagoe in spring, the rows of cherry trees along the Shinkagishi River are highly recommended. In this place, which stretches behind Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, the cherry blossoms that bloom as if nestled in the flow of the river quietly announce the arrival of the season. On days when there is no wind, the flowers are reflected on the surface of the river, and you are enveloped in a beauty as if time has stopped. It is the perfect scenery for those who want to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time in peace and tranquility.
