EARLY BLOOMING CHERRY TREES ARE FLOWERING IN IZU PENINSULA.

Early blooming cherry trees have started to flower in Izu peninsula We went to see them.
                                           We went to Minami-Izu town at first.

 　早咲きの桜を見に伊豆半島に行きました。最初は、南伊豆町のみなみ桜です。







The row of cherry blossom trees of Aono riverside are in full bloom here.

青野川に沿ってみなみ桜が満開でした。















By macro lens.


Then we went to Kawazu town.


それから河津町に行きました。河津川沿いの河津桜も見事でした。







There is a beautiful row of cherry blossom trees along Kawazu river here.






河津桜も｛みなみ桜」も同じ品種ですが、「河津桜」は登録商標になっていますので、河津町
以外では別の名前で表記されています。

"Does Izu pronounce is?"  Yes it is.

    Dearest Minoru-san
    Wow, how GORGEOUS early blooming cherry blossoms are! The row of cherry blossom trees of Aono riverside and Kawazu river; I've never heard of the places and its early blossoms.
    Thank you very much for sharing one of the Japanese beauty.

    Sincerely from Yamaguchi, xoxo Miyako*

    こんばんは
    みなみ桜も神津桜も見事に咲いてますね。きれいです。
    「河津桜」が登録商標とは初めて知りました。
    確かに有名ブランドに育ちましたね。見頃はあと何日くらい続きそうですか？？

      　こんばんは。ありがとうございます。小田急線の新松田駅の近くの丘に、この桜が沢山植えてあります。ここも早咲き桜祭りをやってます。　今、多分見ごろだと思います。晴れていれば富士山が背景に見えます。
      　ここはあと１週間は持つと思います。
