Experience the vibrant Tsubame Cherry Blossom Festival and the 79th Bunsui Oiran Procession, a celebration of the Ogawazu Diversion Canal's engineering feat. This procession, featuring elaborately costumed performers, began as a local initiative to entertain cherry blossom viewers along the Ogawazu Diversion Canal's cherry tree-lined path. The event takes place at the Ogawazu Diversion Canal Cherry Tree Avenue, with alternative arrangements at Tsubame Bunsui General Gymnasium in case of bad weather. Paid parking is available in temporary lots. The procession offers a glimpse into local culture and history amidst the beautiful cherry blossoms.
