The &#8220;Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival&#8221; was canceled in 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was held only online the year before last and on a reduced scale last year, making this year&#8217;s event the first regular event in four years. During the festival, about 70 gourmet food stalls will be set up in the Koro-kan and Sannomaru plazas, and night lighting will be held at the Sakura Garden near the castle tower and the Tamon-yagura watchtower, which is an important cultural property. The Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival Executive Committee is calling for people to enjoy the cherry blossoms while taking basic infection prevention measures. <\/span><b>Source<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/saku-hana.jp\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/rkb.jp\/news-rkb\/202303075150\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to check out Fukuoka Now\u2019s guide to Cherry Blossom viewing in Fukuoka: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-sakura-and-ohanami-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-sakura-and-ohanami-guide\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151871\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_fukuoka-castle-sakura-festival-showcase_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C932&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival Returns with Full Format\" width=\"1400\" height=\"932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_fukuoka-castle-sakura-festival-showcase_2023_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_fukuoka-castle-sakura-festival-showcase_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_fukuoka-castle-sakura-festival-showcase_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_fukuoka-castle-sakura-festival-showcase_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photograph provided by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/showcase.city.fukuoka.lg.jp\/en\/photo\/img0914.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
