How to Avoid the Crowds and Encounter a Shower of Cherry Blossoms in Kyoto 🌸 🌊🎢 #Kyoto is a cultural ancient capital, known for its shrines, temples, historical buildings, gardens, paintings, traditional events, and Kyoto cuisine. Called the "Millennium Ancient Capital," Kyoto's cherry blossoms in spring are something Xia Xia looks forward to every year! This time, I've carefully selected 2 off-the-beaten-path cherry blossom spots that are easy to reach and hidden among shrines and temples, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful and romantic experience. 🌸 🌊🎢 1⃣ #Toji Temple 🚩 Highlight: At 7 a.m., Toji Temple is moistened by morning dew, with delicate cherry blossoms twinkling under the azure sky. At night, the illuminated temple transforms into a dreamlike world. 🌊🎢 There are also many treasure trove shops near JR Kyoto Station waiting for you to explore! 📍Address: 1 Kujo-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto City 🚇Transport: 15-minute walk from JR [Kyoto Station] 2⃣ #Heian Shrine 🏮 Highlight: The garden's pride, the "Yae Beni Shidare-zakura" (double-layered red weeping cherry blossom), blooms in April, with its tassel-like cascades of flowers that are breathtakingly beautiful! 🌊🎢 You can also taste Kyoto's signature cuisine at the surrounding shops, immersing your taste buds in the spring atmosphere. 📍Address: 97 Nishitenno-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City 🚇Transport: 15-minute walk from Subway [Tōzan Station] / 5-minute walk from Bus [Heian Shrine Mae] #Kyoto 🌺
