Spring Festival
As the winter cold begins to fade, festivals celebrating the arrival of spring are held throughout Japan. In the Tama area as well, a wide variety of events take place, including plum blossom festivals and cherry blossom festivals held in many locations, as well as traditional celebrations such as Daruma markets, fire festivals, and mikoshi processions entering the river.
Many of these festivals are rich in history and culture. Why not take a trip around the Tama area while enjoying these spring festivals?
