From 26 to 27 August, CLAIR ran a booth at Cumberland Council’s Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival 2017 in Auburn Botanical Gardens where we introduced and promoted Japanese tourism, especially places famous for cherry blossoms such as Hirosaki City in Aomori Prefecture, Joetsu City in Niigata Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture. The festival itself goes for two weeks with the last two days attracting over 30,000 visitors, exceeding last year’s numbers. Our booth was full of visitors asking questions regarding Japanese cherry blossoms. We were glad to have the opportunity to give information to many visitors who have a keen interest in Japan.
