🌸Yodo Kawazu Sakura🌸 Kawazu Sakura in Yodo, Kyoto, is one of the earliest to bloom. It has already bloomed in mid-February and is now starting to snow. There are about 300 Kawazu cherry trees along the river, forming a pink cherry blossom avenue. There were not many people there that day. The pink flowers are so dazzling, and the petals have fallen into the stream. 🌸It is so beautiful to see them swaying in the wind on the water. It is a different atmosphere to appreciate them at dusk.

It was my first time there, but I was only able to see the exterior of the castle and wasn't able to go inside. There are baseball and futsal fields nearby, and they were well-used.

Kyoto Yodo Waterway is a famous early spring cherry blossom viewing spot in the Kansai region. Located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, approximately 200 to 300 'Kawazu Sakura' cherry trees from Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture are planted along the riverbank. These cherry blossoms are known for their vibrant pink color and longer blooming period, usually starting to bloom from early February and lasting until mid to late March. They bloom earlier than the commonly seen Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, making it the earliest cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto. How to get there: Take the Keihan Electric Railway to 'Yodo Station', and walk about 8-10 minutes from Exit 4 to reach the cherry blossom path. There are signposts along the way, making it easy to find. Address: Yodoshinmachi, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 613-0906 Japan

Help! I originally thought that I would miss the cherry blossom season this year and become a "cherry blossom refugee", and I felt very disappointed. But when I rushed to Fushimi early this morning, I was shocked by the beauty in front of me. This wave of cherry blossoms was beyond my expectations and it was breathtakingly beautiful! I have seen many people complaining these days that due to the weather, the cherry blossoms in Kyoto bloomed very late this year, and many people found themselves empty-handed when they first went there. Before setting off, I was also very nervous, fearing that the trip would be in vain. It was not until I stepped into Fushimi and saw the cherry blossoms that looked like clouds and rosy clouds that I felt relieved. Looking up, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, with clusters of flowers so numerous that the branches were bent down by their weight. As the breeze blows, pink petals fall like snowflakes, as romantic as a dream. Standing under the cherry blossom tree, it feels like you have traveled into a romantic Japanese anime scene in a second. What’s even better is that there aren’t many people in Fushimi in the morning, so you can take photos leisurely and immerse yourself in this limited romance of spring. I am so lucky to witness this cherry blossom feast with my own eyes. Friends who are planning to come to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the near future, make arrangements quickly! According to the current situation, the flowering period will probably last for a few more days. It is recommended that you get up early to avoid the crowds and enjoy your own cherry blossom viewing time. #京都樱花 #福見樱花 #樱花赏指南 #春日樱花季 #京都樱花

#cherryblossom25 Kawazu cherry blossoms are early bloomers and are relatively fewer in number near Osaka and Kyoto compared to the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms.

This group of Kawazu cherry trees is located in the residential area of Fushimi between Osaka and Kyoto, near the ”Yodo“ station on the Keihan Main Line, making it easily accessible.

Located in Fukakusa Ichinotsubocho near the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, Matsuya is a charming Japanese confectionery shop with a history that dates back to the 1930s. This small, unassuming store has been lovingly run by an elderly couple who have perfected the art of crafting senbei, traditional Japanese rice crackers, over the decades. Senbei, a beloved Japanese snack, comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. At Matsuya, you’ll find an assortment of these crispy treats, ranging from classic savory varieties to some lightly sweetened options. What makes this shop particularly special is their handmade, egg-free, and oil-free senbei, a testament to their commitment to traditional and simple craftsmanship. A highlight of Matsuya’s offerings is their adorable fox-shaped senbei, a nod to the shrine’s iconic fox guardians. These crackers not only taste delicious but also make for a thoughtful and thematic snack to enjoy or take as a souvenir during your visit to Fushimi Inari. With its nostalgic atmosphere and dedication to quality, Matsuya is more than just a shop—it’s a slice of history and tradition. Stop by to experience authentic Japanese flavors, support a local family business, and pick up some unique snacks to complement your shrine visit. #newyearnewtrip

There are about 200 Kawazu cherry trees planted along Yodo Waterway. They were planted by local residents in 2002, forming a beautiful cherry blossom trail along the waterway. From mid-February to mid-March, you can enjoy the charming scenery of Kawazu cherry blossoms in full bloom, and the weekends are packed with cherry blossom viewing tourists. The Kawazu cherry blossoms (かわづさくら) that bloom in early February are an early blooming variety of cherry blossoms. Unlike most of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms (ソメイヨシノ) seen in Japan, the Kawazu cherry blossoms are bright pink in color and have a longer flowering period of nearly a month. Because Yodo Suidori is the fastest place to view cherry blossoms in Kyoto, it has received a lot of attention in recent years and its popularity has skyrocketed, bringing fame and tourism revenue to "Yodo". #100 Ways to Travel #Yandishuilu

#Chiikawa #Chiikawa Mogumogu Honpo in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City is a tourist spot, so even on weekdays the streets are crowded with foreigners and tourists like us 🙃 But even so, as we walked in search of Chiikawa Inari that can only be purchased here, we were greeted by a super super super cute Inari Hachiware 😭 I'm a big fan of Hachiware so I'm a little biased, but it's really too cute 😭 There are also many photo spots and limited edition goods, so I think even those who have a Chiikawa in their hometown will enjoy it! I also welcomed an inari rabbit and a Hachiware, but they are often sold out online and in stores, so I recommend checking their Twitter account and website before visiting ·͜· ︎︎♡
