Cheery Blossoms

Hi Kyo Sensational followers!

I am sorry for not having updated the blog for such a long time. Did you miss the blog?

Cherry Blossom season is not far away. It is still winter here in Kyoto, but has been warm for recent four days. On Sunday, I went on cycling at the lunch break because the weather was nice and beautiful and it hit over 20 Celsius degrees!


Beautiful blossoms at the Imperial Palace


At Kyoto Imperial Palace, I saw some blossoms that reminded me cherry blossoms would attract us soon.

The park is one of venues to see beautiful cherry blossoms and popular amongst tourists. It is a quiet place so is an ideal place to relax in between visiting various tourist attractions.

Indeed you can see cherry blossoms in other places such as Kinkakuji (also known as Golden Pavilions) and Ginkakuji (so called Silver Pavilions).

Maruyama Park located near Gion is a place where people bring foods and drinks to have under cherry blossoms for socialising. Probably you can organise food and beverages and create your own unique Japanese experiences.

By the way, my favourite Australian Rules Football (AFL)  starts around the cherry blossom season. If you like the sport, why not visiting Kyoto and then we can discuss about footy and share your travel stories under the cherry blossoms. I am a St Kilda supporter!

I hope you can make a way to Kyoto in the cherry blossom season.

Thank you for reading my post. See you soon!
