This photo was taken from a high vantage point looking down on the cherry blossoms and boatmen on the Shinkagishi River. I tried to capture the scenery of the river surrounded by cherry blossoms from a bird's eye view. Along the Shinkagishi River, which runs behind Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, rows of cherry trees bloom beautifully in spring. A walkway has been developed along the river, making it a spot where visitors can enjoy taking pictures while taking a leisurely stroll. Another attraction is the reflection of the cherry blossoms on the surface of the water. Why not stop by during a break from sightseeing and enjoy the spring-like scenery of Kawagoe in a leisurely manner?
