4 Best Photo Compositions for Somei Yoshino Sakura Along the River in Koshigaya, Saitama

Today we’ll be introducing somei-yoshino cherry trees in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture.

They’re located within walking distance of Kita-Koshigaya Station, and bloom for a long distance along the riverbed.

While the cherry trees in Tokyo reach their peak in late March, those in southern Saitama often bloom about a week later.

There are several photogenic spots here, such as bridges and stairs, and there are hardly any people there on weekdays, so

you can enjoy the view at your own pace.

In this article, we’ll explain the recommended composition for taking photos here, along with some actual photos.

Bridge Composition

This pose allows you to place your hand on the bridge railing. By intentionally looking away from the camera, you can create a mature look.

Pathway Composition

On sunny days, the sunlight filtering through the cherry blossoms and reflecting on the ground creates a truly beautiful atmosphere.

Since the Somei-Yoshino cherry trees are in bloom far and wide, including them in the frame will add a sense of depth to the photo, which is recommended.
