Magical Sakura

Sakura Festival Nihonbashi

Nihonbashi has a mission to become the capital's coolest sakura viewing venue and, we must say, it's getting quite close. This festival features a series of sakura-themed events: from projection mapping, light-up, sakura-special food and drink menus and more! A must-see is the Nihonbashi Sakura Gate—a magical entry to the area, which has the entire street turned into a sakura-filled river, with a sky of countless sakura colored strips of paper. As a measure against coronavirus, some events might get canceled, please check their website for more information.
