In order to enjoy winter cherry blossoms and autumn leaves,
I went to Jomine Park in Kamikawa-machi, Saitama.
Winter cherry blossoms usually start blooming in the middle of October, and as the name suggests,
you can enjoy these cherry blossoms in the winter time.
Jomine Park is known as “the village of three winter cherry blossoms in Japan”, and has 600 trees of a small cherry blossom called the “October cherry blossom”, which is a rare variety.
The autumn leaves start changing in the beginning of November, so the middle of November is when you can enjoy winter cherry blossoms and autumn leaves at the same time.
When it becomes evening, visitors can enjoy the light up trees.
The illuminations in 2017 where until December 3rd, and started around sunset and lasted until 8pm.
During the winter you can enjoy the contrast between rare cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, so please come and see them at Jomine Park.
