Yasaka Shrine Cherry Blossoms– Kyoto’s Nighttime Sakura Spectacle

#cherryblossom25 At the heart of Gion, Kyoto’s most famous shrine transforms into an ethereal pink wonderland each spring, with hundreds of lantern-lit cherry trees casting a glow over teahouses and geisha alleys. Unlike daytime hanami spots, Yasaka’s magic peaks after sunset, when paper lanterns and projection-mapped blossoms create a scene straight from a Heian-era tale.
