🌸ふんわりと咲く、ふんわりと映る――春宵の一目千本桜並木
こんにちは、飴屋のかんばん娘です。
おおがわら桜まつりでは、満開まじか、ただいま夜桜ライトアップが見頃を迎えています🌙
川沿いの桜並木は、やわらかな灯りに照らされて、昼とはまったく違う幻想的な姿に。
白石川の水面には桜の影がふんわりと映り、夜風にゆれる花びらがとても美しいんです。

🌸一目千本桜は「満開まじか」。これからがいちばんの楽しみどき

現在の開花状況は五分咲きから七分咲き。
全体にピンク色が広がりはじめ、歩くたびに春の香りとやさしい光に包まれます。
この時期は、花が咲き進むエネルギーに満ちていて、
一輪一輪がとても印象的に見えるんですよ。
まさに今こそ、“これから満開へ”という期待感が一番高まるタイミング。
「今見に行ってよかった」と思える夜桜に出会えます。

【🌸Softly Blooming, Softly Reflected — A Glimpse of Hitome Senbonzakura on a Spring Night】
Hello, I’m the Ame-shop’s signboard girl.
The Ogawara Cherry Blossom Festival is close to full bloom, and the night illuminations are now at their best🌙
The cherry blossoms along the river are softly lit up, creating a fantastical sight that’s totally different from daytime.
The shadows of the cherry blossoms are softly reflected on the surface of the Shiroishi River, and the petals swaying in the night breeze are truly beautiful.
【🌸Hitome Senbonzakura is gently blooming — full glory is just around the corner】
Currently, the cherry blossoms are about 50 to 70 percent in bloom.
The pink color is starting to spread all over, and every time you walk you’re enveloped in the scent of spring and gentle light.
At this time of year, the flowers are full of energy as they continue to bloom,
and each and every petal looks very impressive.
Right now is the time when anticipation is at its highest for the cherry blossoms to reach full bloom.
You’ll be able to see cherry blossoms at night that will make you think, “I’m glad I went to see them now.”
【🌙 Illumination information (2025) During the Ogawara Cherry Blossom Festival】
Time: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Shiroishi River bank Hitome Senbonzakura (cherry blossom line and riverbank area)
The cherry blossoms, 50~70% in bloom, illuminated by soft light, look like fireworks blooming in the night.
Time flows with both tranquility and gaiety.
It can be a little chilly at night, so please make sure to dress warmly
【📷 You can check the blooming status on our live camera!】

【📸 This time, the photography was done by Ameya’s “Shacho-kun”!】
The photos of the cherry blossoms at night were taken by Ameya’s “Shacho-kun”! He usually shows off his seasonal outfits next to the vending machine, but on this day he was on-site with his smartphone in hand📷
His navy blue happi coat casually had the word “Sakura” written on the chest. He looked as if he was wearing spring, and carefully took photos of the illuminated cherry blossoms at night🌸In fact, President-kun is also a member of the Sakura Club.
Please take a look at President-kun, the “spring worker,” along with the photos♪
【🌸 Spring is only here for a short time. Come and experience it for yourself!】
The cherry blossoms, close to full bloom, sparkle in the night light,
showing a different kind of beauty than when they are in full bloom.
Enjoy the illuminated cherry blossoms as you walk and take photos 🌙
In our next cherry blossom newsletter, we plan to report on the cherry blossoms in full bloom!
Until next time, we’ll bring you spring news from Ameya ♪
