Japanese garden of The Tsytsin Main Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences is a great place not only for cosplay, but also for hanami—watching blooming sakura. It might actually be the only appropriate place for hanami in Moscow—with more or less Japanese architecture and landscape and a relatively large amount of blooming trees. The garden is rather small, there are a lot of visitors during the high season and not a single Japanese automatic ticket machine—so get ready to stand in an authentic Russian queue to witness the beautiful!
