Located in the southern part of Tokyo, Machida City can be accessed in just over 30 minutes by train from Shinjuku Station. This part of the prefecture is home to some great green spaces, and this is highlighted by the Machida Sakura Festival held during spring. The multi-venue event will be held along the banks of the Onda River, at Ridge Green Road, and at Serigaya Park, with no shortage of blooms for attendees to enjoy.
