What to expect
The cherry blossoms form a vibrant pink canopy over the canal, with their delicate petals reflecting in the water. The air is filled with the scent of street food from nearby vendors and the chatter of trendy crowds.

Visit in the evening for the enchanting illumination. The best views are from the bridges crossing the canal, where you can capture the blossoms and their reflections. Bring a camera to capture the scene. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
