Join YUMI and friends to mark the fleeting beauty of York’s blossom (Sakura) as its season comes to an end.
Revered for its transient beauty, Sakura (typically cherry blossom) offers a slice of Japan in York.
Bring a picnic and immerse yourself in Japanese culture through Hanami, the traditional custom of enjoying the fleeting beauty of the blossom during Sakura season.
