A riverside stretch of Kawazu-zakura (early pink cherry trees) lining the Sakaigawa/Megurocho stream — vivid pink blossoms with opportunities for close-ups, arching branches, and mirror reflections in the water. Best visited mid–late February when blooms peak. Light is nicest at golden hour or on soft overcast days that saturate pinks; sunrise and weekday mornings minimize crowds. The path is flat and walkable with no entry fee; parking is limited so use local trains/buses and carry a compact/GR
