Atami Sakura is Japan's earliest-blooming cherry tree. Introduced to Atami around 1871 by Italians alongside lemon and date palms, it was later planted extensively throughout the city. Designated as the city tree in 1977 to mark Atami’s 40th anniversary, the festival is held along the Itogawa Promenade, approximately 300 meters with 58 cherry trees lining both sides of a narrow river in the city center. Visitors can enjoy early signs of spring as white-eyes flutter through the blossoms. Festival events include illuminated trees, cherry blossom tea and tea services, street performances, sword dancing, and band concerts. *Please refrain from unauthorized use of images.
