The Negawa Greenery Road is a quiet walking path that is well-known to locals. In spring, cherry blossoms grow along the water and you can enjoy some flower viewing. The best part about this path is seeing the cherry blossoms reflected in the water. When the wind blows, petals float onto the water to create an even more magical scene. Unlike popular spots where you have to fight for a space, here you can relax and enjoy. During cherry blossom season, we recommend a walk in the morning or afternoon. In the daytime, see soft sunlight shed upon the blossoms and in the afternoon, see the sunset-soaked trees.

The National University path connects Tachikawa and National University. In spring, it transforms into a beautiful path lined with cherry blossoms. From this overpass, it feels like you’re gazing into a tunnel of cherry blossoms. The path of cherry blossoms is around 2km long. The vast expanse of cherry blossoms is a unique and breathtaking sight. When the blossoms start to fall, the petals floating down is another magical sight to behold.

Springtime reflected on the water. A cherry blossom walk along the Tamagawa Aqueduct

The Tamagawa Aqueduct is a historical waterway that has its roots in the Edo period. It’s a lush area where you can see the seasons turn. In spring, you you get a beautiful view of the flowing water and the cherry blossom trees alongside it. As soon as you leave Tamagawa-josui Station, the path of cherry blossom trees appears. This spot is a hidden gem where you can peacefully enjoy the cherry blossoms away from the noise. When the cherry blossoms bloom, the petals float onto the water to create art on its surface. Walk along the path, listen to the sound of water, and take in the cherry blossoms around you. You’ll forget the chaos of the city as you walk through or sit back on a bench.
