Many spots to relax in nature in spring

It is wonderful to stroll along the riverside promenade lined with cherry blossom trees, take pictures, and enjoy viewing cherry blossoms under the trees. There is also a footbath spot, so you can comfortably enjoy the spring atmosphere even on a slightly chilly day.

3Kawazu Yozakura Beer Train 2025

Fantastic nighttime cherry blossoms viewed from a train window with beer in hand

Enjoying the nighttime cherry blossoms from the window of a resort train with a beer in one hand is a fantastic and luxurious experience. Inside the train, some of the lights are dimmed to create an “adult bar” atmosphere. In addition, staff members dressed in Izu no Odoriko costumes will provide hospitality. We hope you will enjoy the beautiful and magnificent nighttime cherry blossoms, which are different from those during the daytime.
*Advance reservations are required (internet or phone reservations) for the first 120 people.

Enjoy the fantastic view of the night sky

After getting off the train, enjoy the view up close at the illuminated nighttime cherry blossom spot. Along the riverside promenade, cherry blossoms spread high and wide as if covering the sky, each one illuminated by the night sky to create a fantastic atmosphere.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the nighttime cherry blossoms at this event.
