Sakura Autumn Festival 2026: Edo atmosphere with 300 years of history
An annual festival held in mid-October every year at Makata Shrine, the guardian deity of Sakura. Gorgeous floats and mikoshi are paraded through the castle town area, and the unique chant of “Essa no korasa no essa” echoes through the air. This is the best festival where you can experience Japan’s traditional culture first-hand.
