The cherry blossoms in Kyoto are in full bloom! Come quickly~ It's right on Dianshui Road and can be reached by tram. This should be the earliest one opened near Kyoto and Osaka. The variety is Kawazu Sakura, the color is relatively bright~ . I decided to fly to Japan temporarily I thought I wouldn’t see cherry blossoms this time Unexpectedly, the cherry blossoms on Yosui Road were not only in bloom but also in full bloom! Zundu was pleasantly surprised, and a little wish was fulfilled! Friends who have traveled to Kansai recently can give it a try! Photo taken on March 8, 2024 . There are many cherry blossom trees lined up along the river embankment. You can see it after coming out of Yodo Station and walking towards the river embankment. The place is not too big, but there are more cherry blossoms than expected You can finish the tour in one hour as quickly as possible It's a pity that you can't pass by the river. Otherwise there will be more blockbusters . The strategy is as follows, remember to collect it Other Uji, Arima Onsen, and Osaka guides will follow. . 【Transportation】 Regardless of whether you are departing from Kyoto or Osaka, the principle is to transfer to the "KH Keihan Main Line" and walk about 10 minutes from "Yodo" Station. . 【Photography suggestions】 1️⃣If you want to take pictures of no one or few people, please arrive before nine o'clock. Tour groups will arrive later and there will be a lot of people. 2️⃣ If you have the opportunity to bring a camera, please bring a telephoto lens. The photos taken from the other side of the river are very beautiful; if you are using a mobile phone, take photos under the dense cherry blossom trees. 3️⃣The temperature has been relatively low recently, so remember to wear thicker clothes! The color white goes well~ 4️⃣The feeling of cherry blossoms is very different with or without sunlight. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the light. . 【Yo no River Sakura】 Address: Kawazu-Zakura Cherry Trees in Yodo Yodo no Kawazu Sakura Tickets: None

Recently, I saw the news that the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are in full bloom, and as a cherry blossom refugee, I feel very envious. I may be one of those people who chased after the cherry blossoms this year, but were disappointed. However, the Kawazu cherry blossoms near Yodo Station did not disappoint, and beautiful pink flowers were in bloom. I would like to explain a little about the cherry blossom varieties here. 🌸 "About Kawazu Cherry Blossoms" Kawazu cherry blossoms are not well known in China, but are popular in Japan as the "mother of early bloomers." In 1955, a resident of Kawazu Town, Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture, discovered them in the grass by the river, and after 11 years of care, they began to bloom pink flowers and became widely known. 🔷 Flowering period: From mid-March 🔷 Flowering period: More than 20 days, can be seen until around the Qingming Festival. Another widely known cherry blossom variety is the 🌸 "Somei Yoshino Sakura." Native to Japan, it is widely cultivated around the world. It is the most commonly seen cherry blossom variety in Japan. Varieties include Tareyanagi Sakura and Tokyo Sakura. 🔷Blooming period: late March to early April 🔷Flowering period: about 10 days✈️"Where to see Kawazu cherry blossoms" ①🧭Navigate "Yodo Station" and exit from Exit 4/5. There are many Kawazu cherry blossoms in front of Exit 5. ②🧭Navigate "Kawazu Cherry Blossoms on the Yodo Waterway" and follow the guide or exit from Exit 4 and go straight. ③Go to the riverside and you can see a group of cherry blossoms. 📷"How to shoot"After actually visiting, I will introduce three places suitable for shooting. 🔷Near the railway bridge🌉: A place where you can overlook the cherry blossoms, very densely packed, I think the viewpoint is the best. 🔷Side of the residential area: Because it separates the cherry blossoms from the river, you can use the large light circle to blur the cherry blossoms beautifully. 🔷Near the parking lot: There is a bench under the cherry tree, where you can sit and take pictures of enjoying the cherry blossoms. 🔷 In the cherry blossom forest: I don't really recommend this. The Kawazu cherry trees have green leaves, and when you get close, the contrast between the green and the pink cherry blossoms is so strong that the screen can look dirty. Finally, I hope you all have a good time! #KyotoTrip #CherryBlossomSeason #KawazuCherryBlossoms

My dears, when you go to Kyoto, Japan to enjoy the cherry blossoms, don’t miss the Yodogawazu Sakura! Today I will share some beautiful photo spots📸 📍On the bridge Standing on the bridge across the Yodo River, with the blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms as the background, the winding river and the scenery along the coast are in the distance. Whether you are shooting a panoramic view or a close-up of a person, you can perfectly capture the cherry blossom scenery. At sunset, the sunset glows on the pink petals, and the photos taken are simply amazing! 📍Riverside Trail Walk along the trail and pick a cherry tree with drooping branches, letting the petals fall naturally in front of you. Squat down and shoot from a low angle, with the blue sky and dense flowers as the background, and the person is sticking his head out from the flowers, the Japanese atmosphere is fully brought to the fore! 📍Under the cherry blossom tree Find a clean patch of grass, sit on the ground, use the blooming tree as the background, and take photos that create a leisurely and relaxing feeling. The sunlight shines through the petals and falls on my body, and the photo has a dreamy filter, making it look super good. While the flowers are in full bloom, take your camera and capture this limited spring romance! If you miss it, you have to wait another year💕#京都樱花

Between Kyoto and Osaka, there is a place where the Kawazu cherry trees bloom from late February to early March. Taking the Keihan train to 'Yodo' station, it takes about 1 hour from Kyoto and about 1.5 hours from Osaka. First, right outside the station, there are cherry blossoms at the bus stop. The area isn't busy with traffic, so you can walk up close to the cherry blossoms for photos. (Pictures two and three) Then, you can walk to the ruins of Yodo Castle, where there is a shrine, and right beside it is a cherry blossom tunnel. Not many people know about this spot, so you can take photos at leisure (Picture four) Lastly, of course, is the Yodo River, which is the most popular spot for cherry blossom viewing and, of course, the most beautiful! (Pictures one and five)

Been traveled to Japan few times but never visit during cherry blossom season. Finally make it to this flower season and got the chance to see it in full bloom. The weather in Japan is so unpredictable, we are lucky to catch the earliest batch’s. It was still raining when we arrived but luckily it stopped for awhile for us to take this pretty pictures. Still in awe and i understand why cherry blossom in Japan is a bucket list. #CherryBlossom2024 #cherryblossom

#cherryblossom2024 #japan #kyoto We believed the forecast, that this year the cherry blossoming will come early, so we booked our trip to Japan for the last week of Japan. Despite the forecast, the weather cooled down, and it rained most of our time, and 99% of this magical trees haven't started blooming. Luckily there are some places with early blooming species, so we could get some of the sakura-feeling. I recommend those mid-late March sakura-seeker to visit the Kawazu-Zakura Cherry Trees in Yodo, Kyoto [淀の河津桜]. Very nice experience, even on a rainy day!

One of the first places to see cherry blossoms near Kyoto 22/3/2024 Near Yodo Station, walk along the pink flags to the bridge. You will see beautiful pink trees along the canal. #sakura2024 #sakura #kyoto #japan
