A must-go place in spring 🌸 Heian Shrine to see cherry blossoms during the day and night lights at night

Heian Shrine is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kyoto and is also one of the famous cherry blossom viewing spots. Its iconic large torii, Taigiden and red lacquered building materials show its unique style. As a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto, every spring about 300 cherry trees of 20 species bloom in the area, including Yae red weeping cherry, Somei Yoshino cherry, Kanhi cherry and other varieties. The tender pink cherry blossoms and the colorful shrine buildings effectively complement each other, creating a refreshing and pleasant scene. Particularly worth mentioning is the "Heian Jingu Night Cherry Blossom Concert" held in conjunction with the cherry blossom season. During the period, night lighting activities are implemented simultaneously. Visitors can enjoy the melodious music played in the East Shrine and the VIP Hall, and then enjoy the light and shadow of the night cherry blossoms reflected on the water under the light. It makes people feel very dreamy and the whole experience leaves a deeper impression. 【Attraction Information】 *Address: Okazaki Nishitennocho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture *Transportation: About 10 minutes on foot from Kyoto Metro Higashiyama Station About 15 minutes on foot from Keihan Railway "Sanjo Station" or "Jingu Marutamachi Station"
