Noriko Sakoh, one of the leaders of Tokyo International Hiking, shares highlights from the group’s recent early-season flower hike. She also volunteers for the English-language website of the Japan Mountain Day Foundation.
Tokyo International Hiking is a Facebook-based hiking group that enjoys nature in Tokyo and the surrounding areas.On February 15, 17 members from nine countries celebrated the opening of Japan’s flower season together.
Starting in Kami-Oi, Kanagawa, we admired the beautiful Kawazu-zakura with majestic Mt. Fuji as a stunning backdrop, various plum blossoms, and a gorgeous canola field overlooking the sparkling waters of Sagami Bay.
Due to the snow, we had to cancel our original plan on February 7. But in the end, it was definitely worth the one-week wait.
