Hanami - enjoying the cherry blossoms

Hanami - enjoying the cherry blossoms

Saturday, April 15, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m

From the end of March, the cherry trees bloom in the Japanese Garden of the Botanical Garden. Hanami (花見, literally "flower viewing") is a traditional Japanese custom of enjoying cherry blossoms and Japanese plums in spring. Cherry blossoms sweep across Japan from the end of March to the beginning of May. Our event is related to this, where we want to bring this traditional holiday in Japan closer to the visitors.
The event is part of the University Spring program series.
