The fleeting blossoming of Japanese cherry trees has become a popular springtime event in Lithuania – with over a dozen places across the country where people can admire the sight.
The advertising agency Vilnius Lifestyle has listed seventeen parks, alleys and gardens – from the better known ones in Vilnius and Kaunas to those in smaller towns – to see blossoming sakuras.
“For us, Japanese, it is very important and I m happy that Lithuanians have also fallen in love with the trees,” Yuko Yamasaki, the wife of Japan s ambassador in Lithuania, is quoted in the agency s press release.
