Gardens by the Bay to unveil sakura display featuring Hello Kitty

There’s nothing quite like sakura or cherry blossoms to herald the arrival of Spring, and if Covid-19 has ruined your plans of travelling to Japan to see them, you can now admire their beauty at Gardens By The Bay’s Flower Dome.

Take a stroll through torii gates and enter a tranquil Japanese landscape where you’ll not see just cherry blossoms, but also elegant Japanese red-crowned cranes or Tancho and peach blossoms (momo).

That’s not all. The Japanese tradition of flower viewing, known as hanami, will be enlivened with the appearance of Sanrio character Hello Kitty.

There’ll be plenty of moments for photo ops too, from posing beside rickshaws to locating the best spot for nodate, an outdoor tea ceremony. You’ll also be privy to the Japanese art of fabric wrapping, furoshiki, with a picnic spread laid out.
