Fifty cherry blossom branches will also be delivered to Danang on a direct flight from Japan’s Narita city on April 8, one day ahead of the first-ever cherry blossom festival in the Vietnamese city.
The two-day festival aims to tighten relations between Danang and Japan.
It will also launch a boat tour from Danang Bay through the Co Co River to Hoi An in neighbouring Quang Nam province, retracing the two countries’ old trade route.
