Every spring, Kinchakuda transforms into a magical place. This purse-shaped park is lined with fluffy pink cherry blossom trees and the fields are golden yellow with the nanohana in full bloom. This year's Nanohana Matsuri is held on April 9-10, 2016 from 10am–4:00pm. Enjoy this breathtaking but fleeting view along with many attractions such as a water slide, a mini SL train ride, a free market, local food stalls, and all day entertainment at the main stage.
