– Cherry blossom and Firefly Festival ‘OIDEYASU (welcome in Japanese) IDE TOWN’
You will be warmly greeted with the friendly Kyoto dialect phrases like oideyasu when you visit during the town festival. Let us look at the trees along the river, an area made up of more than 500 cherry blossom trees spanning over 1,500 meters on both sides of the river. You may feel like you are in a tunnel of flowers! Moreover, people enjoy yozakura, illuminated cherry blossoms at night.
Let us continue our imaginary tour to the weeping cherry blossoms in the temple, which are graceful and romantic. We can also enjoy many fireflies glowing along the river in the park during summer. It’s a truly amazing scene. The whole town works hard to keep the river, park and temple clean. It makes you feel like you are in a fairytale. Please come to meet the friendly people and nature in Ide town!
