The cherry trees in Koganei, totaling around 10,000 trees at their peak, start to blossom on the 54th or 55th day from the first day of spring according to the lunar calendar, and reach full blossom on the 60th day. Especially, sakura planted around the Koganei bridge on the banks of the Tamagawa aqueduct seems to have been the most beautiful.
