[edit] Attractions

The MAFF complex is famous for its cherry blossoms. The main road through it is actually called "Cherry Tree Avenue" in Japanese and in the cherry season it's full of sightseers, causing many traffic delays for the locals.

In the summer many of the labs hold open days for visitors.
