Thank you for posting this information. I am just wondering about directions to Chuo Park. I would be coming from Misawa, so I know where Hard Off store is:) Where is the Park from around there?
I just found your blog and I probably won't get a response from you until after the event has happened, but is it possible to get directions from you on how to get to the horseback archery event that is happening tomorrow (Saturday) I've been looking all over the internet and can't seem to find specific directions. We would be coming on rt 10 from Misawa City.
My apologies for not replying in a timely manner (I was out and about all weekend and it never occurred to me to check my blog).
For anyone else who is interested in coming down to see the cherry blossoms, here's the 2011 Towada Haru Matsuri Google Map
