Gardens by the Bay’s annual Sakura floral display is back again for a 2022 run. While last year’s version featured Hello Kitty-themed decor, this year’s takes on a tokidoki twist that’s just as kawaii. And the best part is that entry is now free-of-charge for Singaporeans who are holders of selected CHAS Card categories for a limited period of time.

Imported straight from Japan to Singapore, the sakura blooms and peach blossoms making up the current Flower Dome exhibition at Gardens by the Bay are now ready for viewing. Along with these come various traditional elements of Japanese culture, such as the iconic red torii gates as well as colourful wagasa (paper parasols) hanging from above.

With tokidoki characters gracing this year’s edition, expect not just cutesy pastel-coloured photo walls, but also larger-than-life statues of the magical Unicornos dotting the area. This includes the debut of tokidoki’s 5 new Unicorno characters - namely Fubuki, Ichiyo, Haru & Harumi, Yoshino and Sakurako - alongside longtime favourites like SANDy and Donutella.
