Gokase Sakura Project: Cherry Blossom Festival🌸 On Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30, a cherry blossom festival took place around the weeping cherry tree in Kijiya. This post shows scenes from Saturday, March 29. Despite the low temperatures, the morning brought sunshine, and the venue buzzed with a wide variety of food stalls and kitchen cars and many visitors. That evening, timed with the night illumination, members of Naniloa HULA studio performed a graceful hula dance. Although the stage was set under a cold sky, the dancers’ beaming smiles warmed everyone’s hearts. As of March 29, about 20–30% of the cherry trees were in bloom overall, so unfortunately they were not at full bloom. Still, the lights that the students of Miyazaki Prefectural Gokase Secondary School worked hard to install cast a gentle glow that made the venue beautiful even with fewer blossoms.

🌸 Shibazakura Festival Now On 🌸 The Shibazakura Festival returns this year along the Shibutagawa River in Isehara City! Bands of red, white, and pink moss phlox carpet the riverside slopes, blooming like a floral tapestry.✨ The scene of flowers reflected on the water and the green hedgerows creates a quintessential spring panorama. This spot is also listed among Kanagawa Prefecture’s 100 Famous Flower Sites—come and experience its beauty for yourself! 📅 Event Period Saturday, April 5, 2025 to Sunday, April 13, 2025 📍 Access From Odakyu Line Isehara Station, take a bus from South Exit platform 3 for about 7 minutes. Get off at Ota Elementary School Mae and walk about 10 minutes. 🌷Why not enjoy a leisurely spring stroll and flower viewing with family and friends in the pleasant weather? We look forward to your visit! 🔗 More details https://isehara-kanko.com/flowers/sibazakura/...
