2025/4/10
On 10 April, Ambassador Hiroshi Suzuki attended a Hanami gathering in Regent’s Park organised by the Sakura Cherry Tree Project. This event was a continuation of last year's cerebration, set against the backdrop of the park, which is one of the first sites where the planting of cherry trees made possible by the project took place in 2019.
Ambassador Suzuki reflected on the origins of the project and expressed his delight at being able to attend the Hanami celebration at the park. He extended his gratitude to all those involved in the initiative, which has provided approximately 8,000 cherry trees across the UK. He also expressed confidence that the new target of planting 10,000 trees across the UK would be achieved.
