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!!
