The Gardening Fair at the Hotel Okura Tokyo took place on May 2 – 6, 2015. The room filled with blossoming flowers and vibrant greenery from around the world attracted a total of 16,622 spectators to enjoy the gardens designed by ten ambassadors and their spouses. The showcases served as more than a display for the nations’ respective gardening trends, but also exhibited their cultures, traditions, and history.
TOMODACHI Initiative would like to thank Hotel Okura Tokyo for their donation and continued commitment to promote cultural exchange activities between Japan and the United States.
