[Must-see cherry blossoms] The earliest cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto

A trip to Kyoto that I wanted to go to during cherry blossom season

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed late, so I used Sakura Navi to change some of the cherry blossom spots I had planned.

Daigoji Temple was marked as a best viewing spot, so I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

This is a famous cherry blossom spot, famous for the "Daigo Cherry Blossom Viewing" that Toyotomi Hideyoshi held extravagantly.

There are 700 cherry trees planted, including weeping cherry trees, Somei Yoshino cherry trees, double cherry trees, mountain cherry trees, and Kawazu cherry trees.

Starting with the weeping cherry tree in front of the main gate, cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the temple grounds, including Sanboin, Reihokan, Niomon Gate, and Kondo Hall.

The shot of the five-story pagoda, which is designated as a national treasure, and the cherry blossoms is a very popular spot.
