When you come to Kyoto to enjoy cherry blossoms, you must not miss Kodaiji Temple! This ancient temple, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife Nene, transforms into a pink and white dream world during the cherry blossom season. Every frame is like traveling through a painting of the Edo period.
As you step into Kodaiji Temple, the vermilion gate and the layers of cherry blossoms complement each other beautifully. Walking along the winding path, you will see weeping cherry trees on both sides drooping to the ground, like a pink waterfall cascading down. The petals dance in the wind and fall on the quaint stone road, instantly healing you! The most amazing one is Cuidi Garden, where the Japanese garden and cherry blossoms are perfectly integrated. The reflection of the cherry blossoms by the pool sways in the blue waves, and every shot is like a movie.
Don’t miss the night cherry blossoms limited edition! As night falls, the temple lights up with warm yellow lanterns, and the lights give the cherry blossoms a gentle halo. The pink and white flowers and the eaves of the ancient temple are looming in the night, beautiful as a dream, and the atmosphere is directly full. If you are tired of shopping, you can take a rest in the tea room, have a bowl of cherry blossom yokan with matcha, and enjoy the unique slow time in Kyoto~
📍Transportation: 10 minutes walk from Dongshan Station
💡Tips: It is recommended to make an appointment in advance as there will be many people during the night cherry blossom season; wear light-colored clothes for better photos, and the kimono is paired with the cherry blossoms in the ancient temple!
This spring, come to Kodaiji Temple for a thousand-year-old cherry blossom date🌸!
