[Kyoto x Cherry Blossoms] Cherry blossoms at night, a tradition that dates back to the Edo period ✨ Introducing a shrine where you can see the rare "cherry blossoms x rape blossoms" in Kyoto city ⛩️

What will the cherry blossoms be like in Kyoto this year? ?

There are many cherry blossom spots in Kyoto, but which one will you go to?

There are several cherry blossom spots in Kyoto that I personally recommend, and one of them is "Hirano Shrine".

[About Hirano Shrine]

Hirano Shrine has many rare types of cherry blossoms, with 400 cherry trees of 60 varieties in full bloom, making it a cherry blossom museum.

Hirano Shrine has early-blooming cherry trees that originated at Hirano Shrine, and it is said that "when the cherry blossoms of Hirano bloom, cherry blossom viewing in the capital begins" 🤔 It is a spot where you can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long period of time, from mid-March for early-blooming cherry trees and mid-April for late-blooming cherry trees. It has its own unique features 💡

Since the Edo period, when night cherry blossoms were allowed to be viewed by the public, it has been loved as the "Hirano Night Cherry Blossoms" 😄

[About the Sakura Garden] --------
Looking at the main shrine, on the left side of the approach to the shrine, there is a kind of garden with many cherry blossoms planted, called the "Sakura Garden"!
This is the main spot at Hirano Shrine✨
Rape blossoms are also blooming, and you can see the contrast of pink and yellow, which is rare even in Kyoto city😍
Hirano Shrine itself is free, but the Sakura Garden is paid💰
The area around the garden is covered with curtains so you can't see inside, so you can't see the view unless you pay⚠️Please go in😁
