Nihonbashi is also known by other names such as “Nihonbashi Sakura Avenue” and “Edo Sakura Avenue.” During the Sakura Festival, the organizers set up a hanami stage, using decorations and LED lights to create a blooming cherry blossom corridor. Mitsui Main Building also holds a “Cherry Blossom Light Show” every day at 6:30 PM, giving the building a romantic and soft ambiance. In addition to enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms, visitors can also explore the open-air food street “Yozakura Open Bar” specially set up by local merchants if they get hungry.
