"Ume", Japanese Plum, Viewing Festival

This area is famous for Japanese plum trees. But about 10 years ago, those trees were infected with a virus and more than 35,000 trees had to be cut down.

And now, planting new trees

have just started after the

influence of the virus settled.

So this festival means praying for the restoration and celebrating the beginning of that.

  


A variety of events were held in this festival.

 

"Shishimai", Shishi(*1) Dance Performance 
 (*1) legendary creature lools like lion

Taiko Performance 

Samurai Warrior Parade









 "Awa" Dance Performance
