🌷 Today marks the first day of the 2025 Sakura Tulip Festa, where about 600,000 tulips of around 100 different varieties surround the windmill at the Sakura Furusato Square. 🌸 The festival is scheduled to last until April 20, but if you come soon, you’ll also be able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing here too with the full “sakura” bloom expected in the coming days! 🚲 The grounds here are free to enter, but if you’re looking for another activity to do while you’re here, you can rent a bicycle and ride around the lake that`s right next to the windmill. ✈️ Sakura is located between Tokyo and Narita Airport, making it a great day-trip destination for a spring day out in nature!

Homemade Vegan Dining in the Countryside Outside Tokyo at Lungta
Here at Lungta, you can enjoy 100% plant based dishes made with nutrient rich grains and locally sourced fresh seasonal vegetables. With a desire to live sustainably in nature, the owner, Yoneyama-san moved to this mountainside property outside Tokyo on the Boso Peninsula with her family in 2007.
On our visit, she told us how at Lungta they practice a lifestyle that utilizes the gifts of nature while minimizing environmental impact. We learned about their efforts to build houses using local wood and bamboo, grow vegetables through natural farming, and craft fermented foods.
Based on the ethos that “the body and soil are one,” Yoneyama-san uses organic ingredients whenever possible, along with seasonings made using traditional Japanese methods such as miso, soy sauce, ume vinegar and mirin. She doesn’t use any animal-derived ingredients, white sugar, chemical seasonings or additives.
By making a reservation, you can enjoy a homemade meal here at Lungta, and even make dishes alongside Yoneyama-san.
