Araki no Mori Park, a famous cherry blossom spot↓
They haven’t bloomed. They’re making a well pump
Shukugawa along Route 2 today↓
They haven’t bloomed. Though we didn’t check every single tree
The correct answer is c. Rokutanji Park.
It’s the park in front of the parking lot.
Let’s get closer↓_
As of March 9, it had already turned leafy. When did it bloom?
We went to check it out in person↓
The name was kindly written there, and apparently it’s called “Shuzenji Kanzakura.”
It seems to be seen in the hot spring town of Shuzenji in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is an early-blooming variety that reaches its peak around mid-March.
