Cherry blossom viewing and festivals,
A memorable spring in Kyoto
For those of you who have a dream of visiting Kyoto during the cherry blossom season and seeing the cherry blossoms! I will introduce you to the 'Naked Cherry Blossom Festival' that will make that dream come true 200%. You can enjoy a splendid mapping show and light-up at Nijo Castle, which is specially opened at night for the cherry blossom festival, and you can also enjoy delicious cherry blossom-themed food.
It will only be held from March 14 to April 13, 2025, and as it is a popular festival for both locals and tourists, it may sell out early, so reserve your tickets in advance through WAUG to create unforgettable memories of a spring night in Kyoto!
NAKED Sakura Festival 2025
World Heritage Site・Nijo Castle
If you are planning to see cherry blossoms in Japan in March or April, I recommend the Naked Cherry Blossom Festival held at Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kyoto without hesitation! With illuminations of historical buildings, various experience programs, hanamikuji, and even food stalls where you can eat festival food, this is a special opportunity that only those traveling to Kyoto during the short cherry blossom season can enjoy, so don't miss it.
Light up the night scenery with a beautiful pink glow!
At the NAKED Cherry Blossom Festival, you can experience a different Kyoto night. The most striking feature is the illumination of 50 types of approximately 300 cherry blossom trees. The beautiful cherry blossom illumination and projection mapping utilizing the historical space of Nijo Castle create an atmosphere that feels like you have entered another world, so if you want to make special memories, we recommend visiting this festival.
