Atami cherry blossoms illuminated by the morning sun rising

Atami cherry blossoms are one of the earliest in Japan, flowering in December every year and reaching full bloom in late January. Atami cherry blossoms in full bloom delight visitors and herald the arrival of early spring in Atami city. They are planted throughout Atami city, with many planted along the Ito River in the city center and around Atami Plum Garden. This is a collaborative work of Atami cherry blossoms along the coast and the morning sun. The morning sun rising over Sagami Bay gently illuminates the Atami cherry blossoms, heralding the start of the day.
