The tranquil park at the Amsterdamse Bos is not usually on the travel itineraries for most of the year. However, during spring this region is filled with pastel white and pink hues and draw travellers from far and near. In the year 2000, around four hundred cherry trees were planted by the Japanese to pay homage to the Tsunami victims.

Kersenbloesempark hosts the annual cherry blossom festival, Hanami Matsuri where you can relish scrumptious Japanese delicacies and have fun under the blooming cherry trees. Unfortunately, in 2019, the festival is cancelled but you can still head to the park and see the pink blossoms in bloom. When to visit: Early to Mid April
