Roihuvuori park in Helsinki


Japanese style park in Roihuvuori

In may the cherry trees are blossoming in Helsinki. Nearby Herttoniemi metro station is Roihuvuori park where you can find many cherry trees and many people come to the park for a picnic to enjoy the pink blossoming flowers of the cherry trees. In the same area you can find also Japanese style park divided to four different sections. I have never been to Japan but I could sense the atmosphere of Japan and enjoyed it a lot. 

I recommend also checking out Herttoniemi mansion and its surroundings by walking towards south next to the flowing water. You can also see houses of Tammisalo with their own private piers. Nowadays it is difficult to get your own plot reaching all the way to the water as coastlines are now dedicated for public use to enable everyone have a stroll by the water. The Herttoniemi mansion holds a museum inside which you can visit on Sundays.
