This year's Richmond Cherry Blossom Festival marks This year's Richmond Cherry Blossom Festival marks the 50th anniversary of Richmond's sister-city relationship with Wakayama, Japan. The relationship with the City of Wakayama was established in 1973, but the history between the Japanese village and Richmond dates all the way back to the 19th century.

The first Japanese immigrant to Steveston was Gihei Kuno. Born in the small coastal village of Mio in the Wakayama Prefecture, Kuno arrived in Steveston in the late 1800s and found success as a fisherman. He encouraged others from his hometown to immigrate. Today, Kuno is known locally and in Wakayama Prefecture as the “father of immigration” and almost 75 percent of Richmond’s Japanese community is from Wakayama Prefecture.

Wakayama is known for the beautiful cherry blossom trees around the site of Wakayama Castle - definitely a great spring destination!
