🌸 [Kansai] Kyoto Gyoen's Weeping Cherry Blossoms Are in Full Bloom!

#cherryblossom25 📍 Kyoto Gyoen (Enter from the North Gate) 🚇 Transportation Tip (Avoid the crowds!) Don't enter through the Marutamachi Gate — it's packed with tour groups! Instead, take the subway to Imadegawa Station, then walk 8 minutes to the North Gate. From there, you’ll walk straight into an area full of weeping cherry trees. The ancient trees look like pink waterfalls, and when paired with snow willows, the spring atmosphere is absolutely dreamy! 🎟️ Entry Info Free admission No reservation required Open all day (but no light-up for night viewing) 🌸 Latest Sakura Status in Kansai (as of March 30, 2025): Nara Kawazu sakura is fading Yoshino sakura has started blooming Good spots now: Todai-ji, Himuro Shrine, Saho River (pin Saho River Elementary School) Yoshinoyama and Takada Honmachi’s cherry blossoms still bare Kyoto Weeping cherry in full bloom 🌸 Yoshino cherry about to bloom Kawazu sakura in Yodo: already leafing out Great spots: Daigo-ji, Rokkaku-do, Kyoto Gyoen, Honman-ji, Kodaiji, Maruyama Park, Kamo River at Gojo (check main page for details) Still bare: Philosopher’s Path, Sewari-tei Osaka Best bets now: Sayamaike Park, Osaka Castle Park Still bare: Mint Bureau, Expo ’70 Commemorative Park 📌 Note: Info for reference only — always check latest updates before heading out to avoid disappointment! #travel
