Due to the impact of heavy snow, it seems that the cherry blossom festival in Kawazu Town, Izu, is experiencing a significant decline in visitors. In the Kanto and Koshin regions, snow continued to fall from the 5th to the morning of the 6th, with reports of a potential heavy snow warning even in the 23 wards of Tokyo. The Kawazu Sakura Festival, which used to start from February 10th until two years ago, is now affected by global warming, beginning on February 1st and running until the end of the month, the 29th. Despite attracting crowds mainly from the Kanto region, even on weekdays, today, as shown in the photo, there is not a single person around. It seems to be reserved exclusively for locals. As expected, it’s “Great Cold”. It is the ulterior motive that is trying to make you look forward to spring by imposing a final test.

大雪の影響で伊豆河津町のさくら祭りも客足がさっぱりだそうです。関東甲信は５日から6日の朝にかけて、広い範囲で雪が降り続き、東京23区でも警報級の大雪になるおそれがあると報じられていました。一昨年まで２月10日から開催されていた河津の桜まつりも、温暖化の影響で今は２月１日からの開催で、月末の29日まで開催されます。連日主に関東方面からの花見客で賑わい、平日でもかなりの人出だそうですが、今日は写真の様に人っ子一人もいません。地元貸し切りだそうです。さすが大寒。最後の試練を課して春を嘱望させようとする魂胆です。
