The gentle reflection of the trees on the basin and the seasonal burst of color offer a memorable backdrop, making this one of the most enchanting areas to explore in Washington, DC.
The tradition of cherry trees in the nation’s capital dates back to 1912, when Japan gifted these trees to the United States as a gesture of friendship and goodwill. Since then, approximately 3,000 cherry trees have been planted across the city, transforming Washington, DC into a spectacular destination each spring. Their annual bloom draws visitors from around the world, celebrating natural beauty, international friendship, and the timeless charm that makes the city one of the most captivating places to visit.
