Hachioji Ginkgo Festival

9:00am – 5:00pm
Free
Hachioji

The ginkgo trees of Hachioji were planted along the streets when the city expanded during the Showa period.

The usual highlight of this festival is a tour of sekisho (old checking stations) complete with vintage pass permits, but we’re not sure if this is going ahead due to COVID-19 restrictions. Either way, the 2021 event promises to be closer to the pre-COVID event than the limited event held in 2020.

 To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
