Cherry blossom festival in Kakukan

Cherry blossom festival in Kakukan

Event Overview

At the Hikinai River Tsutsumi, which serves as the venue for the Cherry Blossom Festival in Kakukan, the Yoshino cherry tree blooms for about 2km, and it is a dainty bloom from mid to late April along with the weeping zakura that blooms gracefully on the samurai residence street. Both Yoshino and Sidare Zakura in Kakukan have been selected as "100 Sakura Famous Places", so it is recommended to take a walk while feeling the history of cherry blossoms. At the Cherry Blossom Festival, you can enjoy non-flower viewing such as local performing arts, various events, and store openings, and you can also light up at night, so you can watch fantastic and glossy cherry blossoms that are different from the day's glitz.
