With so much gratitude for these little yellow flowers
I went to the Mimosa Festa 2025, which is being held from February 5th to March 16th, 2025 at La Cittadella, a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Kawasaki Station.
La Cittadella is a complex shopping center designed with the motif of an Italian hill town, and its cobblestone streets and row of shops will make you feel as if you have traveled to Europe.
Beautiful yellow mimosa flowers herald the arrival of spring
March 8th, International Women's Day, is called Mimosa Day in Italy. Mimosa flowers brightly decorate the streets of Italy from late February to March, and are said to be given to loved ones to express love and gratitude. Hoping to spread this wonderful Italian culture, La Cittadella holds a mimosa event every year. This year marks the 10th time the event has been held, and each time it is held it attracts more attention. A soft yellow color spreads throughout the building, and restaurants in conjunction with the shops offered a mimosa fair menu. The mimosa wreaths displayed at the entrances of these stores add a touch of elegance to the rows of gorgeous shops.
Unique photo spots everywhere
This year, we recommend the cute accessories in the photo spot, where blue items are scattered throughout as accents. The central fountain plaza also has a fun and unique spot with a photo stage for dogs and a place where you can take photos through a mirror. If you go up to the balcony on the second floor of the Maggiore, you will find a space vividly decorated with antique items and lots of flowers. If you go down the olive stairs from there, you will see mimosa flowers flowing from a faucet on a pole and there is painting at your feet, so no matter where you take it, it is sure to be photogenic. Even though it is still cold at this time of year, you can take lots of photos in a wonderful space decorated with spring colors.
The area around Kawasaki Station will be covered in mimosa flowers for a month.
The Kawasaki Brave Thunders, a professional basketball team whose hometown is Kawasaki City, also collaborated with the Mimosa Festa. The club mascot, "Rowl", holding a cute bouquet, was decorated all over the wall, and fans passing by stopped to take commemorative photos. The cute collaboration appearance of "Rowl", which you don't usually get to see, is a must-see.
There will also be collaborative projects with surrounding facilities, and the area around Kawasaki Station will be dyed mimosa yellow for a month during the event.
Trip to an Italian open-air market
During the weekends, there will be a variety of events such as the Mimosa Marche, Mimosa Live, and Mimosa Cherry Blossom Viewing. The most noteworthy event is the ever-popular Marche. You can purchase items related to mimosa, including baked goods, seasonings, and of course fresh flowers. It's exciting to think of searching for a gift for someone you want to say thank you to at a Marche that resembles an open-air market in Italy. Perhaps this is because La Cittadella is filled with an exotic atmosphere. Popular workshops are also available, so why not try making a handmade gift for someone special?
The flower language of mimosa has positive and warm meanings such as "elegance, gratitude, and friendship." I realized that going out with a loved one during this season, which is completely colored in yellow, is a wonderful way to express gratitude. Why not make some heartwarming memories while feeling the arrival of spring?
