Updated: Apr 15

A stunning and unique cherry blossom viewing location where you can take a boat ride through a tunnel of cherry blossoms. At this present time, you must reserve the boat online in advance, otherwise you can just enjoy walking along the river and across the bridges.


Where: 108 Hikawacho, Kawagoe, Saitama 350-0851

When: Usually late-March to Early-April

How Much: Free!







As you can see below, it gets very crowded and a little bit difficult to get a photo on this bridge. This is pretty much the prime location for photos but you can wait your turn and then take a walk down the river to see the rest.

You can see people enjoying picnics, taking photo shoots, and some people like the man below bring their interesting pets to enjoy the blossoms.
