This season is really magical! Thanks ken san for sharing!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for showing us this place. It is very beautiful.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you liked it. :)

[@TokyoHomes]

Those tree looks beautiful.

[@tokyokenchan]

They are! Thank you for watching. :)

[@SiriProject]

Great channel! I'm looking forward to Kawazu this month. The festival starts on 10th if I am correct, but some people say to wait for them to blossom some days after, I'm thinking 16th perhaps.

[@tokyokenchan]

Yes, February 10th might be a bit early for the full bloom even though it seems early this year.

[@kevinbaas1293]

They are so beautiful! I really hope they still around in April 12th. Hopefully!!!

[@tokyokenchan]

There should be some late cherry blossoms! Let's hope! :)

[@WalkingLosAngeles]

Wonderful tour!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you! ^^

[@kaput808]

Great video!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you!

[@bennykoh]

thank you Ken chan for showing this. Unfortunately i will not have time to go to Izu peninsula this time round. I did not know there were cherry blossoms in Kawazu so i did not even plan to go to Izu😢 Perhaps my next trip to Tokyo.

[@tokyokenchan]

You will be visiting for the Somei Yoshino, so that is so much better and you can see everywhere in Tokyo. Izu is not the palce everyone visit especially among Internatinoal tourists. Maybe it's good to visit one new place everytime you visit Japan. :)

[@shokwave2]

I'll be arriving in May so I'll unfortunately miss out on the cherry blossoms. But I was lucky enough to see the autumn colours in Kyoto last November.

[@tokyokenchan]

May is also a beautiful season with green leaves. I like May the most in a year. Thank you for watching:)

[@suemohd2229]

Thanks for the wonderful video. Which month was it?

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello. This is February 27, 2023. Thank you for watching. :)

[@davifdearaujo]

Hey Kenchan! Thanks very much for this video! I'm planning to visit Kawazu during the festival, however I am worried if I will suceed to get there due to the crowds. My plan is to get a local train in Atami in my way back from Hiroshima. Since I cannot reserve a seat to get the local trains, is it possible to have trouble getting in Kawazu and/or leaving to Tokyo from Atami? With kind regards,

[@tokyokenchan]

Hi, you can make reservations for train called “Odoriko” to Kawazu from a month before the travel date. In this trip, trains were full as I planned last minutes. You can book from JR East reservations. You can also use JR Tokyo Wide pass.

[@davifdearaujo]

Good to know! Thanks a lot. I heard that 2023-2024 winter is hotter than usual. Is it accurate? Since the sakura bloom depending on the temperature, I believe they may start to scatter earlier than last year. Planning to get there the same day you went last year, by Feb 27th. Hoping to get them as beautiful as in your video!

[@paros320]

“Instead, I got this corner with lots of monkeys” 😂 Great video for tourists trying to escape Tokyo and see Izu peninsula!

[@tokyokenchan]

haha, thank you for watching this video too. :)

[@amandanadhila2244]

How to reserved odoriko express if i have tokyo wide pass? I must reserved at JR office or I can reserved by machine? Thankyou

[@tokyokenchan]

You can do both. If you purchase online from JR East website, you can book online too.

[@rachitabinsri4467]

Omg thanks so much Ken Chan! All of Ur Vdo is super useful. Love the detail and how you put an effort to include maps and little animation in other Vdo! U explained everything that is essential to a tourist like me! 😂 One question, im planing to go to Izu after my trip from Hakone. In order to save time, should I go straight to Ito from Odawara on the way back from Hakone? If so, what kind of pass should I get to cover both hakone and ito. Thanks so much Ken Chan.😊

[@THingOLooooooo]

Oh wow! Are these recent recordings? The cherry blossom has already begun. I'm not flying to Japan for another three weeks, so I hope I'm not too late for the cherry blossoms by then! I'm starting to get nervous. 😕

[@tokyokenchan]

It was recorded on February 27th this year. As I mentioned in the video, this cherry blossom is not the typical cherry blossoms you see in Japan, so no worry. This year, they are expecting to bloom on March 21 and fully bloom on March 25th as of today.

[@shawolsCARMEN]

Thank you for sharing! This is a great video and so informative~~ Are there still going to be cherry blossoms in kawazu and along the izukyu line by 18th March?? I want to visit the peninsula but don’t know if the blossoms will already be over by then when i arrive

[@tokyokenchan]

Hi, this specific Kawazu cherry blossom finished by now, but Izu is a still good place to visit. And March 18th is the perfect timing to visit for Tokyo's cherry blossom! You'll see lots of cherry blossoms. :)

[@ericaung9015]

hi ken chan, for the local train from atami to kawazu station i can use my suica card to ride it?

[@tokyokenchan]

Yes you can use Suica in Izukyu line too. :)

[@nwcigotbetter2001]

Omg what a handsome host

[@arievvijaya]

great video Ken-Chan, will it be cherry blossom in tokyo around 18th march?

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. This year, cherry blossoms are expected to bloom on March 21 in Tokyo, so you might be able to see early blooms. :) I recommend you to visit Shinjuku Gyoen's Japanese garden or Sendagaya gate side. 🌸

[@sophiachandra140]

Hi kenchan, i will visit osaka kyoto tokyo this november (08 nov-21 nov). In that period, can i see autumn colors?

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello Sophia san, yes. I think you will see beautiful Autumn leaves especially in Kyoto. :)

[@jpb77br]

Great video, Kengo. Please, could you share the ryokan's name and exact location? Arigato!

[@iainmasterton2]

Ken quick question.. are masks still required when travelling in Japan..? Arriving next week . Thanks

[@tokyokenchan]

Good timing. From March 13, masks are not required on most of the airlines and train companies in Japan. You still might see many Japanese people wearing masks either for covid or pollen allergy, but you don't have to. 👍

[@iainmasterton2]

@@tokyokenchan ken one more question. Is Revolut card accepted widely? Tnx

[@gypjoelzubia4073]

Is this the only area where they have blossom?

[@tokyokenchan]

You will see some in Tokyo too. I found some in Shinjuku Chuo Park near the Park Hyatt.
