Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi has been known as a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing for 400 years. It has been selected as one of Japan's ``Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots.''
Moreover, not only cherry blossoms but also canola flower are blooming close together. The contrast between the pale pink of the cherry blossoms and the bright yellow of the canola flower is breathtaking.

The Sakura Festival is held from late March to early April. It is also lit up during the festival period.
The cherry blossoms are beautiful during the day, but you can enjoy a different kind of cherry blossoms at night. There are also food stalls, so why don't you walk through the cherry blossom tunnel with some delicious food ?
There are many days when it gets very cold at night, so we recommend that you dress warmly.

The NPO AEA conducts volunteer activities in which children and their families work together to guide guests from overseas. During local traditional events and events, children can actually converse in the English they have learned and interact with people from different cultures, improving their communication skills and developing rich personalities. I would like to play a role in English education that fosters the ability to think for oneself, solve problems, and communicate to others.
