Yokota Air Base Sakura Spring Festival

Yokota Air Base is situated in the western suburbs of Tokyo and opens its gates to the public a few times a year for special events. One such event is the Sakura Spring Festival, which celebrates the picturesque promenade of cherry blossom trees that line the road toward the base’s east gate. The festival also highlights the strong relationship between the United States and Japan, as well as the friendship between the base and the local community.

In addition to the breathtaking cherry blossoms, the Sakura Spring Festival features local farmer’s market vendors, a range of Japanese and American foods available for purchase, and a variety of entertainment and activities. Both US dollars and yen are accepted as payment by vendors, and entrance to the event is free of charge. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to celebrate spring and the special bond between two great nations!
