The best place to enjoy cherry blossoms near Kyoto Station: Toji Temple and Night Cherry Blossoms

#Kyoto Sakura

If you want to enjoy the night cherry blossoms in Kyoto, the best place to go is #Toji!
The five-story pagoda of Toji Temple, the cherry blossom forest in front of the pagoda, and the Fuji-zakura are three popular spots for viewing cherry blossoms at night. The lights are on at night and it is super dreamy. The five-story pagoda landmark is like a shining lighthouse, and the red cherry blossoms and green willows are reflected on the lake. It is so beautiful!
The 120-year-old Fuji-zakura is breathtakingly beautiful, with a five-story pagoda and cherry blossom forest in the foreground and background. The layers of flowers and lights are so charming that the ¥1,000 ticket is worth it!
Most of the cherry blossoms in Toji Temple are Somei Yoshino cherry trees, of which there are about 200. However, the most eye-catching one is the giant double-flowered red weeping cherry tree - Fuji-zakura.
The cherry blossom forest, set against the backdrop of the five-story pagoda, is fragrant and beautiful, and the scenery is spectacular, just as the word "fubi" suggests: there is no other, unique.
