Cherry blossoms in Sapporo soon Maruyama Park "For a long time to see cherry blossoms and banquets" April 28, 15:04
About Maruyama Park in Sapporo, which is known as a famous place for cherry blossoms and is about to bloom, the city is calling for people to refrain from long-term cherry blossom viewing and banquets by restricting some access to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
Maruyama Park in Sapporo is crowded with people who enjoy cherry blossom viewing while having a barbecue during the large holidays every year.
However, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, Sapporo City has called for restricted access to some areas where cherry blossoms are planted and refrain from long-term cherry blossom viewing. In addition, we are also looking for refraining from banquets by laying leisure sheets.
On the 28th, while the cherry blossoms budd in the park, citizens who visited for a walk were looking at the sign that called for restricted access.
A woman in her 70's who visited the park said, "I was looking forward to seeing the flowers together, but I think it is inevitable to prevent the spread of the infection."
Ryosuke Kouchi of the Sapporo City Parks Association, who manages the park, said, `` I think there are many people who are looking forward to the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but I would like to refrain from going out as much as possible and see next year. I would like to ask you to come. "
