Spring has come and it's getting warmer and warmer.

At YUMEYAKATA Gojo information center, we receive a lot of inquiries about cheery blossom forecasts. People always want to encounter the best of it.

I always have this infinite question: why cherry blossom attracts us this much? Maybe it's because they are beautiful yet very fragile at the same time. I do love cherry blossoms.

Especially now, Kyoto Goen (京都御所, the former Imperial Palace), Oishi shirine (大石神社) and Senbon Shakado (千本釈迦堂), are the places we recommend you to visit. Gorgeous weeping cherry trees with full of grace will be waiting for you there.

What about finding one particular cherry tree which attracts you the most? I think it's a nice way to get to know about Kyoto.
