Hundreds of people celebrated on Saturday the reopening of the Japanese Garden in Herastrau Park by having picnics and taking photos of the blossoming cherries, an event that was also attended by Japanese Ambassador in Bucharest Kisaburo Ishii.

He officially opened the garden where Bucharest citizens came alongside their loved ones, with blankets and food to have a full-on picnic.

Jevremovac has been equipped with a new irrigation system to keep its plants watered and two greenhouses have been rebuilt at a cost of 150 million dinars (over €1.2 million), financed from the EU pre-accession funds.

As well as the greenhouses and the park, its Japanese garden has also been rebuilt, along with the central fountain and the lawns.
