Premium tickets to enjoy a special cherry blossom viewing experience at the NAKED Sakura Festival 2024: World Heritage Site Nijo-jo Castle, which will be held from March 8th (Friday), and early bird discount tickets are now on sale.

Latest update :

Nijo Castle is one of the best cherry blossom spots in Kyoto. This time, the "Premium Cherry Blossom Viewing Area" where you can relax in your own space while watching the cherry blossoms at Seiryuen, where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, will be released for the first time! Limited to those who purchase premium tickets, please enjoy the hospitality unique to the premium cherry blossom viewing area, including a menu from which you can choose from three menus according to your preference, as well as a show and commemorative photo session by Yoshinobu Tokugawa, a great figure with ties to Nijo Castle.

In addition, there are various types of illuminations, aromas, and music that further enhance the beauty of approximately 300 cherry blossoms of 50 different varieties at different times of the year, as well as ``Sakura Bayashi'' where the Karamon gate, an important cultural property, is enveloped in a digital cherry blossom snowstorm. There are plenty of things to see, including a projection mapping show called ``Sakurazukiyoezu'' where a 140m-long moat is decorated with a variety of cherry blossoms and golden wall paintings drawn by the Kano school, the largest school of Japanese painting.

In the kitchen front garden area, you can enjoy a menu of cherry blossom sweets and alcohol that are perfect for cherry blossom viewing, as well as an interactive art display that shows your own cherry blossoms right in front of your eyes.

If you hold the NAKED Distance Lantern®︎, which is very popular at each event, the cherry blossoms blooming at Nijo Castle will spread out at your feet with gentle light (*paid rental).

Please check the official website for details and purchase of various tickets.
