What is the Minami Ward Sakura Project?

This is a collective term for Minami Ward's efforts related to cherry blossoms.

Background of Initiatives

Minami Ward is a town surrounded by the Okagawa River flowing through the center of the ward and seven varied hills. In particular, the row of cherry blossom trees on the Okagawa Promenade is also a venue for the Minami Ward Cherry Blossom Festival.
The Minami Ward flower "Sakura" was established in January 2001.
And in March 2004, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Minami Ward system, the Minami Ward mascot character Minatchi, featuring cherry blossom petals. Both the flower "Sakura" and the mascot character "Minatchi" were decided by the opinions and ideas of the inhabitants of the ward.
For Minami Ward, cherry blossoms are a big presence, such as the cherry blossom trees on the Okagawa Promenade, the Flower of the Ward Sakura, and the mascot character Minatchi.
