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!

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.

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)

Chasing the Cherry Blossom
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.

Early cherry-blossom on a rainy-cold day

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!
