Motoara River Cherry Blossom Festival and boat ride | KONOSU
April 7, 2018 @ 10:00 - April 8, 2018 @ 16:00

The Motoara River Cherry Blossom festival in Fukiage is another of Saitama’s well known locations for hanami (cherry blossom festival), especially with locals. It may not be in the top 100 spots to view cherry blossoms, but it is in the best 500 list! It is also ranked high within the prefecture’s top cherry blossom spots.
The river is lined with cherry blossoms mainly of the somei yoshino variety. There are about 700 cherry blossom trees in total. They typically bloom early April. They hang cherry blossom lanterns from the tree during the blooming period and they are lit up at night.
