Night cherry blossom illumination is now on near Iwanai Shrine Street and Kunsuien!
This is a new event starting this year🌸

Also, today, April 29, a tour of Kunsuien will be held.
Kunsuien is one of the villas owned by wealthy merchant Ichitaro Umezawa, who served as Iwanai’s first mayor. It features a single-story wooden house built around 1920 (Taisho 9) and a Japanese garden developed between 1897 (Meiji 30) and around 1913 (Taisho 2).
Full restoration began in fiscal 2021 (Reiwa 3), and the work is finally complete this year!
A pre-opening runs from April 30, 9:00–17:00.
Illumination of this site also starts on May 3,
so please enjoy it together with the night cherry blossom lighting.

If you visit Iwanai-cho, please be sure to stop by.
