The Kamimizo Summer Festival has been held in Sagamihara since the end of the Edo period (1603-1868). The festival is said to be dedicated to Emperor Ushira, who prays for a good harvest and safety of the family, and is said to have been inspired by the Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto. On Sunday evenings, the local portable shrines (Mikoshi) and floats (Dashi) gather from each town and start a grand procession. Once the evening sun goes down, the lanterns of the portable shrines are lit, creating a fantastic spectacle that is not to be missed.

The Prefectural Sagamihara Park is made up of a spacious lawn plaza, a French garden surrounded by redwood trees, a Japanese iris garden, a greenhouse, a grove of various trees and so on. Enjoy a relaxing and cooling time here at this grand park.

The Communication Hall of Space Science and Exploration building is a visitor facility operated by the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). Visitors can see exhibits up-close, including an authentic M-V rocket that completed ground combustion tests, test models of scientific satellites, and displays related to the asteroid explorer "Hayabusa2". Wall-mounted monitors display information alongside staff-guided tours. (Please see the website for start times.)

Since its opening in 1995, the Sagamihara City Museum has been a beloved community institution serving as a comprehensive museum dedicated to the history and nature of Sagamihara City.
