About
Roihuvuori, in east Helsinki, holds a hanami party, the Japanese custom of viewing cherry blossoms, in its Cherry Blossom Park, where around 350 cherry trees grow across the park and the district's Japanese-style garden. Families spread a picnic blanket and watch Japanese culture: parapara and butoh dance, koto music, budo demonstrations, origami, calligraphy and tea art. Japanese treats are on sale. It suits kids happy to picnic and wander.
