A standout memory from my last visit in April was the Blossom Parade, where characters dressed in floral-themed outfits danced along the cherry blossom road while petals floated through the air. It was a scene straight out of a fairytale.
Beyond aesthetics, the April Festival is also known for integrating technology—like interactive AR flower hunts for children and QR-guided garden tours that tell the story behind each bloom. The combination of innovation and tradition makes it an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Another pro tip: try to visit around the second week of April for peak cherry blossom bloom. Early morning or sunset hours offer the best lighting for photos and fewer crowds.
