Cherry Blossom Festival

When : May
Where : Furano

Just outside Furano, located along the river near Yamabe, there is a Cherry Blossom Park with a view stretching towards the snow covered mountains. The festival brings out locals who sit around the park eating both food brought from home and also the fresh food prepared on site at the festival. Locals and tourists alike sit under the trees during the cherry blossoms peak season and drink, laugh and eat creating a very relaxing and fun atmosphere.
