The 1300 year old Koma Shrine in Hidaka City has two cherry blossom tree celebrations annually. This is the event information for the second cherry blossom celebration; a cherry blossom festival. This cherry blossom festival is usually held on the first Sunday of April. However, in 2021 it was held on the last Sunday of March as the cherry blossoms were early.
Koma Shrine has a 300 year old Higanzakura, a weeping cherry and an avenue of Somei Yoshino cherry trees. During the cherry blossom festival, the cherry blossoms are lit up at night. Also, around the period of the festival you can pick up a limited edition sakura goshuin. A goshuin is the seal or stamp of a temple or shrine. They have traditional performances on the day of the festival too, such as a shishimai lion dance performance.
