A sakura festival will be held tomorrow in on Jieitaidori (the street in front of the Self-Defense Forces base) in Kengun, Kumamoto City. If you’re not familiar with the location, this map should help:

From 11 AM to 5 PM all traffic will be closed off, making the sakura-lined street a “pedestrian paradise” (hokosha tengoku). As you can see in the picture, there will be lots of street venders selling various snacks and treats. A pamphlet about the event also indicates that there will be some live performances (“mini live”). The cherry blossoms are past their peak but the good weather predicted for tomorrow should make the festival a great way to savor the last of this year’s beautiful blossoms.
