One-Day Itinerary for Tōfuku-ji Temple (1) 🌸
Sanpō-in: The garden designed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself. 🌊🎢 The weeping cherry blossoms cascade like pink waterfalls. 🍃Don't forget to find the "Tōfuku Deep Snow Cherry Blossom"—a nearly 200-year-old tree that's a famous internet sensation! 🌸 Reihōkan: Capture the cherry blossom tunnel with a wide-angle lens to create a sense of perspective. 🌊🎢 The secret to avoiding crowds is to wake up early (rush in when it opens at 9 a.m.). 🌿 🍃Five-Storied Pagoda: The Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms framing the thousand-year-old pagoda represent the ultimate expression of Japanese aesthetics. Even on rainy days, the scene exudes a cool, Zen-like atmosphere. 🌧️ 🌊🎢 In the afternoon, you can visit nearby attractions: • Fushimi Inari Shrine (15 minutes by subway): The vermilion torii gates contrast beautifully with the pink cherry blossoms. 🍃 The limited-edition talismans featuring fox statues holding cherry blossom mochi are very popular. 🏯 • Tō-ji Temple Night Cherry Blossoms (visit in the evening): The only recommended night cherry blossom spot in Kyoto. 🌊🎢 The lighting design is restrained and elegant, and the five-storied pagoda looks like a ukiyo-e painting against the night sky. 🌃 #Kyoto 🌺
