Atami cherry blossoms, which bloom earliest in Japan, are already in leaf...

But don't be discouraged.
A different kind of cherry blossom is in bloom!

These cherry trees bloom from February to March.

This photo was taken on February 23, 2024.

When in full bloom, it looks like the photo below.

Japan is now in the season of plum blossoms throughout the country.

If you want to see cherry blossoms ahead of others, come to Atami.

It is only one hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train.

A fireworks display will be held on February 24, 2024.

There is also a free footbath in front of Atami Station.
