A bit of Japan in Rome. The appointment with the hanami, the blossoming of the sakura, and the Japanese cherry trees returns to the Laghetto dell'Eur. This extraordinary event is celebrated every year in this corner of paradise in Rome and lasts only a few days.
In this article, you will find the dates and information to admire the spectacle of the Cherry Blossom at the Laghetto dell'Eur.
Hanami: the cherry blossom at the Laghetto dell'Eur
For about two weeks the park of the EUR Lake is transformed into a corner of Japan. From mid-March onwards, the cherry trees blossom, offering an incredible spectacle that is well worth seeing.
The Sakura, the Japanese cherry trees, were donated to Rome by the city of Tokyo in 1959 (which is why the area is also known as the Japan Promenade) and between March and April their blossoming is celebrated, just as it happens in Japan.
This extraordinary event is known as Hanami and refers to the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying the beauty of the spring blossoming of trees.
Dates 2023
The peak flowering period is usually at the end of March 2023. Flowering dates should be between mid-March and mid-April 2023.
During this period at the Laghetto dell'Eur the hanami is celebrated and contemplated with picnics under the Sakura trees and events.
