Somewhere around 1000 somei yoshino cherry trees fill Mount Konpira and the banks of the Seto River with blossoms during spring, with one of the highlights being a two kilometer-long cherry blossom tunnel – it's said to be the largest sakura tunnel in the Tokai region.
The Mount Konpira and Setogawa sakura festival takes place in late March, and includes taiko drum performances, a stage show, various gourmet foods available to purchase, and a free amazake (sweet sake) service along with the beautiful blossoms to enjoy. The trees will also be illuminated after dark if you'd like to appreciate them in a different way.
