Have you made plans for this year's cherry blossom viewing? It is difficult to make plans for cherry blossom viewing because the blooming and viewing times change slightly every year.... To make your hanami plans a little easier, we have compiled a list of cherry blossom viewing spots recorded last year (2023) by JR East Travel Service Center Kawasaki staff who work at Kawasaki Station.

The cherry blossom viewing spots introduced here are along the road parallel to the JR Tokaido Line that runs from the north ticket gate of Kawasaki Station to the Tamagawa riverbed. Please take a look at this year's Hanami for reference.

Today, the weather has changed from yesterday's clear skies to a dull cloudy day. The temperature is almost the same as yesterday, but the lack of sunshine makes it feel a little colder.

The cherry blossoms were in bloom more than yesterday, but they are still at the beginning of blooming. The warm weather we had the day before yesterday and yesterday has made the buds swell up and it looks like they will bloom in a little while.
