Asuwa River Cherry Tree Promenade
The Asuwa River flows through central Fukui City. The rows of cherry trees lining the embankment, loved by locals as a walking course, are a popular cherry blossom viewing spot and have been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best cherry blossom spots.
It’s much quieter than famous spots in Kyoto or Tokyo, and the crowds are lighter too, which makes it super comfortable to explore. Walking along the river feels incredibly soothing, and when the wind blows and petals start falling all around you, it’s genuinely moving.
