Each year, in spring, the Dewa Community in Koshigaya host a popular tulip festival for just one day during the bloom of the tulips. Then, in summer, they have the Dewa Community Summer Festival which also has a fireworks display. Information for the fireworks has been moved to its own post here.
Koshigaya Tulips
The tulips are open to the public for viewing before the festival date. Historically, the festival was in early April, but in recent years it has been on the last week of March. In 2026, the garden will open from Monday March 23rd. The famous tulips of Koshigaya are in Dewa Park. Dewa Park is a large recreational park with sports facilities. At Dewa Park, about 60,000 tulips are carefully raised by local residents and elementary and junior high school students in a large tulip garden. They even create picturesque displays from the tulips. Furthermore, there is even tulips in one of the ponds. They normally bloom from the end of March to early April. Beautiful cherry blossoms bloom in the park around the same time.

The tulip festival at Dewa Park in Koshigaya was actually on, except for 2020, despite the pandemic. However, it was on a smaller scale until 2024. The 2026 festival is on from Monday March 23rd to Sunday March 29th. The latter, March 29th, is the main day. There is a proper festival on that day with various events, including an Amphibious vehicle ride experience. Another highlight of the festival is the mini steam locomotive.
