    Cherry Blossoms and Daigo-ji

    Hi,everyone.

    Today I will tell you about my favorite place to see cherry blossoms in Kyoto.

    I think seeing beautiful cherry blossoms is a valuable raeson to visit Japan on spring.
    However cherry blossoms are common in Japan, so there are many places to see them.
    Let me introduce my favorite place in Kyoto.

    I went there two years in a row!

    Why my favorite?

    I have a few reasons.

    • You can see many cherry blossoms
    • It is not too crowded compared to other places in Kyoto in this season
    • You can take temple + cherry blossoms picture

    Danigo-ji is a large temple.

    Daigo-ji is a large temple and there are more than 700 cherry trees. Also there are various kinds of cherry trees.

    It is a little bit far from the center of Kyoto. Kyoto is full of people during cherry blossom seson.
    So it gets very crowded at famous temples. I hate crowded places,
    ーespecially when its crowded with tourists- so I think this is an important point.
    Although it’s still a bit crowded during cherry blossom season, Daigo-ji is just the right place to enjoy the bloom without being too annoyed by people.

    Beautiful picture!

    I took a picture at my first visit to Daigo-ji and I loved it so much, because it was a perfect combo of the cherry blossom and Japanese pagpda.

    I also took many pictures of cherry blossoms.
    I took them with my smat phone, so you are able to take photos like this as well!!
