Events & Festivals Spring 2026　市内のイベント 令和8年度 春号

The largest of Matsudo's many cherry blossom festivals, attracting over 200,000 visitors annually!

Tokiwadaira 'Sakura-dori' (Sakura Street) stretches 2.2 km between Tokiwadaira and Goko stations (Keisei Matusdo /Former Shin-Keisei Line) and was selected as one of the "100 Best Roads in Japan". 600 cherry blossom trees line both sides of the road, creating a beautiful pink cherry-blossom arch.
Sakura-dori will be closed to vehicular traffic during the festival, and the street will be filled with food stalls and other vendors. Parades and charity performances are also scheduled throughout the weekend.
