The Tsubame Cherry Blossom Festival is a springtime event held in Tsubame City when the beautiful rows of cherry trees, some 1,500 of which were planted in gratitude for the completion of the Okawazu Diversion, are still in full bloom. Events related to “spring” and “cherry blossoms” will be held at various locations in the city, including the lighting up of cherry blossoms at night. The “Bunsui Oiran Michu”, the main event of the festival and the 80th anniversary of the Bunsui Oiran Festival, is a parade of three oiran (courtesans) dressed in gorgeous costumes and accompanied by their attendants.
