About This Event / イベントについて

The Somei Yoshino Cherry Blossom Festival takes place at the very birthplace of Japan's most iconic cherry tree variety. The Somei Yoshino — the cherry blossom that paints Japan pink each spring — was cultivated in the Somei district of Komagome (now part of Toshima Ward) during the Edo period.

The small memorial park features a stone monument marking the birthplace. The festival includes local food stalls, commemorative events, and the chance to see cherry trees near their original home. A short walk from JR Komagome Station, it pairs well with nearby Rikugien or Koishikawa Botanical Gardens.
