The Sakura Tsutsumi in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, is a famous cherry blossom spot that stretches for 2km. During the Sakura Festival, there are also outdoor food stalls set up, so why not enjoy a Japanese cherry blossom viewing with a delicious meal in hand? Yuzuhime (8 years old, living in Kumagaya) introduces some of her recommended spots that you should definitely visit in the spring!

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.

Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi , where 500 cherry trees stretch for 2km
Photo courtesy of Kumagaya City Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi has been known as a famous cherry blossom spot for 400 years and has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan." Not only cherry blossoms, but also canola flower bloom side by side. The contrast between the pale pink of the cherry blossoms and the bright yellow of the canola flower is truly beautiful! This is a must-see spot that can only be seen here.
How to enjoy the Kumagaya Cherry Blossom Festival

The Sakura Festival is held from late March to early April, during which the trees are lit up.
The cherry blossoms are beautiful during the day, but at night you can enjoy a different view. There are also outdoor food stalls, so why not walk through the cherry blossom tunnel with a delicious meal in hand? My recommended food is takoyaki!
It can get very cold at night, so it's a good idea to dress warmly.
