What is the season where you live?

The chill is easing up and signs of spring are in the air in Kyoto. Cherry blossom viewing season is just around the corner. It is said that cherry blossom viewing became a spring event in Japan during the Nara period, when people admired plum blossoms more than cherry blossoms. It is said that the origin of cherry blossom viewing was a flower banquet held by Emperor Saga at Shinsen-en Garden in Kyoto during the Heian period. It began as a trend among aristocrats who would compose poems and play kemari while admiring the cherry blossoms, and in the Edo period it spread to the common people as an annual spring event. The history of cherry blossom viewing culture is hidden in the history of cherry blossom viewing culture. Two townhouses, "Hana Kagari" and "Hana Gorome," are located along the Takase River, where the rows of cherry blossoms in full bloom are beautiful, and you can enjoy the view directly from your room. Please enjoy cherry blossom viewing without being disturbed by anyone in a Kyoto townhouse. =================================== Next door townhouses "Hanagoromo" and "Hanagoromo" - Within walking distance of Kyoto's busiest shopping district "Shijo Kawaramachi" - Up to 4 people can stay in each building - Fully equipped kitchen For more information, search "Machiya Residence Inn Kyoto". #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #foodphotography
