It seems like spring is arriving earlier than usual even in Fukushima Prefecture🌸 The best place to enjoy cherry blossoms early in Fukushima is 'Hanamiyama Park' in Fukushima City. https://fukushima.travel/destination/hanamiyama/10 Hanamiyama Park typically reaches its peak bloom from late March to early April each year. However, there's speculation that cherry blossoms will bloom about a week earlier nationwide this year🧐 So, Hanamizuyama might also reach its peak bloom as early as mid-March!
