Cherry Blossoms ~We Love it~

This time, I can't show nothing, but just the photos of cherry blossoms. Yeah, they are so nice and a good object to shoot, and also a good icon to introduce Kyoto.

Yes!! They are in blooming! This street is in 1 minute from our hostel.

Full blooming! And weather is nice on the day. The temperature is getting warmer!

This is a normal street, but with cherry blossoms.

Some of them were commuting. I saw them while I'm waiting for the street lamp. 

Everything is our daily life. If it's with cherry blossoms, we are very happy. Because we, Japanese , love the trees, and the scenery with the trees is always something emotional. In the begening of spring, we graduate and go to new school or company, meeting new situation and people.

That's iconic. Cherry blossoms are in our heart!

Cherry Blossoms in Blooming in Kyoto --The end of March in 2013--

Walking down a street, you can enjoy them along the river side. They are in full blooming. Thought the sky is not really bright, the color is brilliant.

I took the photo, on a bridge. Some people commuting to a school or company were observing the trees. They are fascinated!

Here's the other place. In the evening, those blossoms were illuminated. Shirakawa-river is along a sort of historical street, which is Shinbashi street.

It's on Shinbashi street. When the sun has set, the illumination will be more brilliant.

At night, people goes to a cherry blossom viewing party. The gate is Yasaka-jinja shrine.

There were so many stalls in the shrine. They sold Japanese old coins.

The site to view cherry blossoms.

It's one of the famous tree in Maruyama-park.

Spring is a great season! Enjoy them, and don't miss it!

The Season of Cherry Blossoms

Now in Japan cherry blossoms are in full bloom.


Before We wrote about cherry blossoms in Kyoto on this blog.
This time I am writing about cherry blossoms, too.
However this time is about cherry blossoms in Tokyo for a change.

I took this photo near Tokyo Station.
There were many cherry trees along this street.


It is amazing that we can enjoy cherry blossoms in the center of this big city.


Cherry blossoms are associated with entrance ceremony and graduation ceremony of school in Japan.


So I visited here.

This is the building of Ministry of Education in Tokyo.
I found this by chance.
I guess they are busy in this season.


All over Japan cherry blossoms are very beautiful at the moment.
I recommend you come to Japan to see them.
If you do so, please do not forget to visit Kyoto.

Nijo-jo Castle and the Illumination, plus Cherry blosome

I took the photo in front of Nijo-jo castle, which is the most famous castle in Kyoto. The castle is surrounded by a kind of rive to protect itself from enemies.

Here's the entrance. I didn't go inside this time. 

Because the illumination event is held from 29th of March with cherry blossom trees in blooming. The season is not just cherry blossom trees but you can enjoy illumination at night. Temples and shrines will be illuminated.

And I went back to my home along a business street. And somehow I found a cherry blossom.

Wow, it's in blooming!

Some of the type of cherry blossom trees are already in full blooming. This is one of them.

But, the blooming season hasn't come yet. Within 1 or 2 week it will come to Kyoto.

Enjoy the warm weather, beautiful trees and parties!
