Hanami, an Ancient Ritual
In Japan, the tradition of Hanami is an ancient ritual that involves admiring the blooming cherry blossoms. Every year, this custom invites us to appreciate the arrival of spring and the fleeting beauty of existence.
When the beautiful spring days arrive, don't miss this highlight of Japanese culture and treat yourself to a bucolic stroll under the cherry blossoms! No need to book a flight to Japan, we promise you a truly exotic experience in the heart of Marseille.
Marseille's Japanese Gardens
So, to enjoy this spring spectacle worthy of a Hanami, Le Bonbon takes you to the Japanese gardens of Marseille. With small lakes, typical red bridges, and tea pavilions, these zen spaces have all the charm of a true Japanese sanctuary. Surrounded by sakuras (cherry trees), take a moment to simply appreciate nature.

To celebrate the twinning between Marseille and the Japanese city of Kobe, a Japanese garden has been created in the heart of Parc Longchamp. This relaxing and serene place has all the features of a traditional Japanese garden with lush vegetation and of course cherry trees. Spring is a magical time to come and admire the blooming of all the species present!
And how can we overlook the Japanese garden located in the heart of Parc Borely. Throughout the year, and especially in spring, Parc Borely is a true garden of Eden with a myriad of colors. This spring, to celebrate Hanami (almost) as in Japan, find refuge under one of the cherry trees to have a picnic while admiring the sublime pale pink buds of the blossoming cherry trees.
