I first thought they were October cherry (i.e., Cerasus ×subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’ Makino) but they're double flowered. I googled and concluded they were Cerasus 'Kobuku-zakura' Ohwi or more commonly known as in Japanese "cherry blessed with many children😊."
October cherry and "cherry-blessed-with-many-children" are both winter cherry trees, flowering in winter, and not that gorgeous like other usual cherry trees blooming in spring, but I like their delicate beauty.
"Cherry-blessed-with-many-children" is named as such because a single flower produces several fruits.

最初十月桜かと思ったのですがどうも子福桜のようです。十月桜は一重、子福桜は八重咲きです。いずれにしろ両方とも冬桜。春に満開となる他の桜とは一味違う繊細な美しさに惹かれます。
