Kyoto-Haratanien, a must-see cherry blossom spot in your lifetime!

#Kyoto Sakura

#原谷苑 is known as "the cherry blossoms that you must see in your lifetime" and is a well-known cherry blossom viewing spot in Kita-ku, Kyoto. It is located in the valley behind Kinkaku-ji Temple and Ryoan-ji Temple. There are more than 400 cherry trees, as well as peach, plum, azalea, daffodil, etc. planted. In spring, when all the flowers are in full bloom, it is like a paradise.

There are many varieties of cherry blossoms in Haratani Garden, from the earliest weeping cherry blossoms, to the Urushi cherry blossoms, Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, double cherry blossoms, yellow cherry blossoms, green cherry blossoms, chrysanthemum cherry blossoms, and rural cherry blossoms, all of which are vying for beauty.

Transportation to Haratani Garden is inconvenient. You need to take the subway to Kitaoji Station, then take the city bus 205 towards Kinkaku-ji, get off at Kotenjin Station, and then transfer to the bus towards Haratani. After getting off at the terminal, it is only 2 minutes' walk away.
