Kyoto Temple Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide: Dreaming of Ancient Temples Among Cherry Blossoms

#Kyoto Sakura In spring in Kyoto, cherry blossoms are in full bloom in temples, and ancient charm and romance are intertwined. Here are some temples worth visiting: • Kiyomizu-dera Temple: A representative cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto, built in 798. Under the warm sun at the end of March, cherry blossoms bloomed around the suspended stage. As night fell, the night cherry lighting ceremony allowed the ancient temple to blend with the lights and cherry blossoms, as if time had stopped. • Daigoji Temple: A world cultural heritage, it has been known as the "Flower Daigo" since the Heian period. The weeping cherry trees in the temple are like a pink waterfall, complementing the ancient pagoda. The light and shadow of the cherry blossoms at night are intertwined, as if traveling back to the Warring States Period. • Ninna-ji Temple: The head temple of the Shingon sect of Japan, there are 200 cherry blossom paths in the park. The late-blooming "Omurozakura" are very ornamental. You can enjoy a quiet time by strolling in the tunnel at night. The best time to view cherry blossoms in Kyoto is from late March to mid-April. You can take public transportation, check the flowering period and weather in advance, and wear light clothing.
