Spring has arrived in Nihonbashi with the cherry blossom-colored lights!
Held every spring in the Nihonbashi Muromachi area, this year’s event, the 10th of its kind, is entitled “Usual Spring, New Spring. New Spring” is the theme of this year’s festival. The theme of this year’s event, the 10th of its kind, is “usual spring, new spring,” and there will be plenty of content to enjoy the lively and gorgeous spring atmosphere typical of Nihonbashi. From 5pm to 11pm during the festival, Edo Sakura-dori, one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Nihonbashi, and important cultural properties and large buildings along Chuo-dori will be lit up in cherry blossom colors to remind us of the arrival of spring.
On April 1 (Sat) and 2 (Sun), a free self-service Japanese tea stand, “Chanoyu Stand,” will also be held. (You can register for each event at the tea ceremony stand through the official website).
In addition, six restaurants and businesses in Nihonbashi will collaborate in three teams to plan and sell “Tsunagifuto,” a new food souvenir of Nihonbashi. In the vicinity of Fukutoku Shrine, “Nihonbashi Sakura Yatai” will also be held on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26, with long-established restaurants, department stores, and hotels in the Nihonbashi area opening stalls. In addition, approximately 240 stores in the Nihonbashi area will sell “cherry blossom”-themed spring-only menus and goods, and the entire Nihonbashi area will be enveloped in a festive mood.
