Fukushima Travel – Kannonjigawa Cherry Avenue

Kannonjigawa in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima, is a picture‑perfect hanami spot: roughly 200 mature cherry trees line both banks of the small stream for about 1 km, creating an idyllic corridor of blooms that evokes Japan’s timeless rural landscape.

Photographed on 04/19/2026, the unreinforced banks preserve a natural riverside feel—soft earth, grasses, and the gentle flow of water beneath the sakura canopy.

Highlights

• ・Scenic walk: the 1 km cherry avenue is ideal for leisurely strolls and intimate hanami away from large crowds.
• ・Train views: nearby Kawageta Station on the Ban’etsu West Line provides charming photo opportunities as local trains pass framed by blossoms.
• ・Night illumination: evenings bring colorful light displays that transform the trees into a magical, atmospheric scene.

Visitor tips

• ・Best time: mid to late April (check local bloom forecasts). Arrive early for soft morning light and quieter paths.
• ・Photography: capture wide shots of the riverside avenue, low angles for reflections in the water, and timed shots of passing trains through the blossoms. Use a tripod for nighttime exposure.
• ・Access: Kawageta Station is the nearest rail access; consider combining the visit with nearby Inawashiro attractions.

・Combine a relaxing riverside hanami with local food and rail‑side charm for a peaceful, authentic spring experience.
