Today the sun was shining and it was warm enough to go out without a coat on. And that's not even an April Fool. Hard to believe that a couple of weeks ago I was wearing my thick winter coat.
To make things even more perfect, the cherry blossom is now at it's peak and it looks beautiful. In Japan viewing the cherry blossom is a big deal. This is probably because it only stays at it's peak for a few days and then some gust of wind will come and blow it all away. This means that during those few days anywhere where there is cherry blossom there will also be throngs of camera wielding tourists. Today was no exception.
Anyway, despite the crowds I really enjoyed it. I walked along Philosopher's Path which is one of the most popular places for cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto.
Are the cherry blossoms blooming where you live?

Seeing the cherry blossoms in Japan is something that is on my lifelong bucket list! x

Glad you enjoyed seeing the photos :) I havn't seen sakura in Japan for quite a long time, so I was really looking forward Spring. I wasn't disappointed, they are so beautiful!
Deletewow. it's so beautiful here. my husband and i hope to go to japan in the fall (we're not sure if we can pull it off but we're still hoping!) -- there are pretty cherry blossoms that bloom in virginia and dc. we love going every year to see.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you can make it, Japan is beautiful in autumn! In fact I actually think Autumn is more beautiful than Spring.
