～Yodo's Kawazu Cherry Blossoms～

There are about 200 Kawazu cherry trees planted along Yodo Waterway. They were planted by local residents in 2002, forming a beautiful cherry blossom trail along the waterway. From mid-February to mid-March, you can enjoy the charming scenery of Kawazu cherry blossoms in full bloom, and the weekends are packed with cherry blossom viewing tourists. The Kawazu cherry blossoms (かわづさくら) that bloom in early February are an early blooming variety of cherry blossoms. Unlike most of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms (ソメイヨシノ) seen in Japan, the Kawazu cherry blossoms are bright pink in color and have a longer flowering period of nearly a month. Because Yodo Suidori is the fastest place to view cherry blossoms in Kyoto, it has received a lot of attention in recent years and its popularity has skyrocketed, bringing fame and tourism revenue to "Yodo". #100 Ways to Travel #Yandishuilu
