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.
