Highlights of the Kannami Cherry Blossom Festival, a new attraction in Kannami, the gateway to Izu

Just west of Hatage Onsen Hot Springs in Hakonan-cho, Tagata-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, lies the Kakizawa River, which flows gently from its source at the foot of Mount Hakone. Since 2001, the Kannami Cherry Blossom Society has planted approximately 410 Kawazu cherry trees on the banks of this Kakizawa River, and has carefully and painstakingly nurtured them. The cherry tree-lined path has a 30-minute course of about 2 km and a 40-minute course of about 3 km.
Please refer to the Kannami Tourist Association website for information on the blooming status of the Kawazu cherry trees!

Hatage Onsen, a natural hot spring that is the pride of Kannami Town

On your way home from the Kannami Cherry Blossom Festival, why not visit Hatage Onsen, the pride of Kannami Town? Hatage Onsen is located in the quiet countryside between Nirayama and Kannami Town at the foot of the southwestern Hakone Mountains and is well-known amongst therapeutic bath visitors as a national health spa with a wide range of beneficial properties. The source is a high-quality medicinal hot spring. It is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo (1573-1644), the first emperor of Japan, used this hot spring to relieve the fatigue of his army horses. It is effective for high blood pressure, neuralgia, rheumatism, digestive organ dysfunction, motor equipment disorder, and beautiful skin. Why not warm up your cold body after strolling along the riverside where Kawazu cherry blossoms are in bloom?
