This photo captures the reflection of Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms on the water's surface. On a windless day, the flowers mirrored sharply on the water looked incredibly beautiful. Omiya Park in Saitama Prefecture is a classic cherry blossom spot where about 1,000 trees bloom together in spring, attracting many photographers. With abundant photo spots like ponds, gardens, and plazas, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms from different angles at each location. Especially captivating are compositions featuring reflections in the water or overlapping with torii gates. Shots looking up at the floral arches are also recommended, allowing you to capture a vibrant, quintessentially spring-like image.
