A celebration of the young leaves, this spring event incorporates a series of performances, concerts, and traditional events. Held as a kind of rival to the autumn leaves festival held in November, this is a lovely bonus if you’re planning to hike up Takao during the month-long event.
What happens?
With plenty of performances and concerts held at the Kiyotaki Cable Car Station (a short walk from the train station) and in the grounds of Yakuoin temple, you can listen to live music, enjoy tea ceremonies, and watch traditional and modern dance performances. The entertainment mainly takes place on weekends, so while it will be busier, there won’t be much happening during the week.
Schedule 2025
Over the weekends during the event period, you’ll find live music, dancing, and other unique (and traditional) performances. Here are some highlights:
- April 20: A children’s parade will set off from Jūitchōme Chaya at 11:15 a.m. towards Yakuoin Temple
- April 29: Geisha dance at Kiyotaki Cable Car Station from 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
- May 10: Outside tea ceremony at Fudoin Cable Car Station from 10 a.m.
- 2.5 km from Takaosanguchi Station Keiō Takao Line (KO53)
