Enjoy Winter Sakura
Japan is known as the kingdom of sakura flowers. However, most people travel to Japan only to see sakura flowers in spring, few people know that the flowers also bloom in winter.
Also known as "Fuyuzakura", which means winter sakura.
Unlike the cherry blossoms that bloom in spring with a pink color that covers the whole of Japan, the winter cherry blossom is more special when it appears at the transition between autumn and winter.
Traveling to Japan at this time, you will admire a very poetic scene. Mixed with momiji red leaf forest, the pink and white color of winter sakura is embellished as a picture that nature favors for the land of the rising sun.
Most sakura trees bloom once, from March to April of the year. However, the rare winter sakura tree blooms twice a year, once in spring, and the second bloom coincides with another wonderful Japanese season, momiji, when the leaves slowly turn to orange and red.
Winter Sakura is a hybrid from two other varieties of cherry blossoms, yamazakura and mamezakura. In addition, this flower blooms from October to December, hence the name fuyuzakura.
This particular flower is known for its small leaves, medium-sized flowers with pretty white or pastel pink petals, which bloom twice a year, hence the name fuyuzakura, this flower. Also known as shikizakura, which means four seasons sakura.
Because winter sakura is a rare flower, when traveling to Japan, you can only see it in some regions. The most beautiful cannot fail to mention Obara in Aichi Prefecture, there are also locations in other provinces such as Sakurayama Park in Gunma, Jomine Park in Saitama, Jikkoin Temple in Kyoto, etc.
