The Waitangi Treaty Grounds, located in the stunning Bay of Islands, is one of New Zealand’s most important historic and cultural landmarks. It is where the Treaty of Waitangi—New Zealand’s founding document—was signed on February 6, 1840, between Māori chiefs and representatives of the British Crown. This agreement shaped the nation’s history, establishing British governance while recognising Māori land rights and sovereignty.
Visitors to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds can explore a wealth of historical and cultural attractions. The Treaty House, originally home to British official James Busby, has been carefully preserved and offers insights into colonial history. Nearby, Te Whare Rūnanga, a beautifully carved Māori meeting house, represents unity among the Māori tribes and showcases traditional craftsmanship.
A highlight of the grounds is the massive ceremonial waka (war canoe), one of the largest in the world, which is launched each year on Waitangi Day, the national holiday commemorating the treaty’s signing. The Museum of Waitangi further enriches the experience, featuring interactive exhibits, artefacts, and multimedia displays that bring the treaty’s history to life.
Visitors can enjoy daily guided tours and cultural performances that include Māori songs, dances, and the famous haka. The grounds also offer breathtaking views over the Bay of Islands, adding to the sense of connection between the land, the people, and their history.
A MUST-VISIT DESTINATION
A visit to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds is an essential experience for those wanting to understand New Zealand’s rich history, Māori heritage, and the ongoing significance of the Treaty of Waitangi. With its blend of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty, it remains a place of learning, reflection, and national pride.

As spring approaches, Japan is enveloped in a soft pink mist as cherry blossoms, or sakura, paint the landscape. Blooming first in Okinawa and gradually moving north to Hokkaido by May, the blossoms bring nationwide excitement. A cherished symbol of Japanese culture, sakura appears in kimonos, textiles, coins, and seasonal treats. With winter’s chill and summer’s heat, spring is the ideal time to visit, symbolising renewal and nature’s awakening after winter’s darkness.
Originally from the Himalayas, cherry blossoms have become an iconic symbol of Japan. They represent life’s transience, a key theme in Buddhism, and have ties to Japanese nationalism and militarism. First mentioned in the Kojiki, sakura was linked to plum blossoms before becoming distinct during the Heian Period (7941185). While most celebrated in Japan, cherry blossoms have also influenced Western culture—Japan gifted 3,000 trees to Washington, D.C. in 1912 as a symbol of friendship. Though often pink, sakura has its own traditional shade, sakura-iro, ranging from pale white to soft pink.
Hanami is the Japanese tradition of enjoying cherry blossoms (sakura). Once reserved for the elite, it spread to the samurai class when Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune encouraged tree planting, becoming a popular pastime. Dating back to the Nara Period (710-794), hanami has deeply influenced Japanese culture, inspiring food, fashion, art, and music.
Today, friends, families, and colleagues gather in parks to eat, drink, and celebrate under the blossoms. Visitors are often welcomed into festivities. Popular hanami spots include parks, gardens, castle grounds, and riverbanks. For a breathtaking view, watch the blossoms at dawn or dusk, glowing in the sunlight.
