Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture] Sakura Week at the Former Yoshida Family Residence Historical Park

The former Yoshida Family Residence Historical Park will hold "SakuraWeek," a series of events including workshops on Japanese culture and shamisen concerts, just in time for the cherry blossoms in front of the symbolic Nagaya-mon Gate to be in full bloom.
