Just south of Tokyo, on the Izu peninsula, the earliest cherry blossom trees can be found. This is a special variety of sakura known as Kawazu Sakura. It typically reaches full bloom in mid to late February, well before anywhere else in Japan. The flowers of Kawazu Sakura are more of a bright pink color compared to the pale white flowers found on most cherry blossom trees in Japan.
