The 17th Atami-zakura Itokawa Cherry Blossom Festival
Japanese name:第17回あたみ桜 糸川桜まつり
📅 Sat, Jan 9, 2027 - Sun, Feb 7, 2027
About this event
The Itokawa Cherry Blossom Festival is held along the Itokawa Promenade in the city center (approx. 300 m with 58 trees), where Atami-zakura, celebrated as Japan's earliest-blooming cherry blossoms, are in full bloom. The sight of Atami-zakura blossoming on both banks of the narrow river and Japanese white-eyes flitting about in search of the flowers heralds the earliest arrival of spring. During the event period, a variety of festivities will take place, including evening cherry blossom illuminations, complimentary sakura tea and green tea service, street performances, kenbu sword dances, and live band performances. Please enjoy this early spring landscape alongside plum viewing at Atami Plum Garden.
