Kamegawa River-side Kawazu cherry (カワヅザクラ) at Okegawa’s Rakusato area forms a dense pink riverside avenue. Best for layered compositions—blooms reflected in the water, cherry trunks framing the river, and seasonal misty light when the weather is cool. Likely easiest by car from Saitama; check the yearly festival dates and whether public paths are open for the Sakura period.
