【Spring Recommended Spot】 Introducing the cherry blossoms of Kozagawa-cho
This is an introduction of recommended cherry blossom spots near Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa.
Please enjoy spring unique to a warm area.
【About 20 minutes by car from the hotel】
In Kozagawa-cho, a neighboring town of Kushimoto-cho, you can enjoy various cherry blossoms from late February to late April every year.
※The best time to see varies depending on the climate
Kumanozakura (mid-March to late March)
The cherry blossoms "Kumanozakura", which have been certified as a new species for the first time in about 100 years in Japan, can be observed throughout Kozagawa-cho.
Kumanozakura in Kozagawa-cho is often in full bloom around mid-March, and is famous as an early blooming cherry. The color of the flower is light pink, and the tip is dark pink. Since the leaves do not appear when the flowers bloom, beautiful pink flowers stand out, making the cherry blossoms suitable for ornamental use.
When publishing a paper identifying Kumanozakura as a new species, the tree on which the specimen was collected will be the "Ikenoyama type specimen tree" native to Ikenoyama, Kozagawa-cho. It is a valuable Kumanozakura only in Kozagawa-cho and only one in the world.
