[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Jōnangū Shrine (Updated Mar)

This year, there has been a great breakthrough in the Jonan-gu Palace, with Light up at night for the first time. I thought many people didn't know about it, but everyone came in droves. It was very lively. It's common to enjoy cherry blossoms at night, and it's my first time to enjoy plum blossoms at night. Friends who are interested should not miss this opportunity!

Kyoto is home to many famous plum blossom spots, but in recent years Jonangu Shrine has become increasingly popular, and is said to be the best in Kyoto, with its "weeping plum garden"🌸 Since ancient times, it has been loved as a shrine for warding off evil and evil spirits, and around the main hall is the "Tale of Genji Flower Garden," a sacred garden that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Every year from February to March, the "Weeping Plum and Camellia Festival" is held! It is easily accessible from Kyoto Station, about 15 minutes by bus, and on busy days, about 9,000 people visit, making it a popular spot 📍✨✨ In addition, Jonan-gu is also a famous camellia spot 🌺There are 32 varieties, and they bloom every year from December to March, and they have cute names such as "Otome Tsubaki", "Jonan Tsubaki", and "Hikaru Genji" 🌺Have fun looking for your favorite camellia while looking at the "Camellia Encyclopedia" in the pamphlet ♬During the festival, the specialty "Camellia Mochi" will also be on sale for a limited time 😋🍡 [Jonan-gu] Weeping Plum and Camellia Festival Dates: Tuesday, February 18, 2025 to Saturday, March 22, 2025 Time: 9:00-16:30 (reception until 16:00) Access: About 15 minutes on foot from "Takeda" on the Karasuma Subway Line and Kintetsu Kyoto Line Fees: Adults (junior high school students and above) 1,000 yen Elementary school students 600 yen #Seasonal places in Japan #travel alone #trip #Kyoto trip #Domestic travel #Jonangu Shrine

Although it is on the outskirts of Kyoto, we rented a car and parked very conveniently! I visited because I was excited to see spring flowers that hadn't bloomed yet in Korea! The plum blossoms in full bloom and the camellia flowers that fell like a painting were so pretty It was a time when everyone was busy taking pictures of the scenery that looked like someone had picked the flowers and decorated them! You can see the most beautiful scenery from the end of February to the beginning of March, and if you go to the Jonangu homepage, you can see the daily flowering status, so if you check it and visit, you won't be disappointed! ##March Travel Support Fund Event

There are several famous plum blossom spots in Kyoto. Among them, I would like to recommend "Jonan-gu Shrine" in Fushimi Ward⛩️ There are several gardens called Shinen in the large grounds, and among them, the garden called "Spring Mountain" is beautifully decorated with red and white drooping plum blossoms🌸 Also, since it is a spring mountain, there are many types of camellias that are also magnificent, and you can admire them together with the plum blossoms🌺 The moss mountain area is particularly worth seeing, and the scenery of "fallen camellias" that fall with their flowers on a beautiful carpet of moss, combined with the drooping plum blossoms, is truly a spectacular sight! 😄 The "Weeping Plum and Camellia Festival" is held every year from February to March, and many spectators visit. The plum blossoms will also fall in the latter half of the season, but the carpet of "falling plum blossoms" that covers the carpet of moss is also a sight to behold🌸😊 The shrine garden is modeled after the mansion of a Heian aristocrat, so why not enjoy the spectacular view of spring flowers only during the spring season and immerse yourself in the world of the Tale of Genji🤗 📍Location: 7 Nakajima Toba Rikyu-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 #tripDomesticTravel #Kyoto #KyotoTourism #KyotoTrip #Jonangu #PlumBlossoms

I visited during the plum season!! The garden with the plum blossoms in full bloom cost 1,000 yen for adults, but the weeping plum blossoms were so dignified and beautiful that I was moved.✨The plum blossoms were cute and had a nice scent. The place where you can see the fallen camellias and the weeping plum blossoms at the same time was quite crowded because it was a photo spot, but it was very beautiful.👍️ [Name] Jonan-gu [Location] 7 Nakajima Toba Rikyu-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 612-8459 [Visit date] 2024.2.26 #Furitabi #Kyoto trip #Fushimi sightseeing #Domestic travel

Every early March, it is highly recommended to go and admire the plum blossoms. In Kyoto, there is such a surprising flower viewing sanctuary, which is mostly visited by locals, but the beauty here can really be described as having a dreamy fairy tale feel. When the plum blossoms at Jonangu Shrine are in full bloom, all kinds of plum flowers compete for beauty. The weeping plums hang like strings of beads, reaching down to the ground, making everywhere you look filled with a pink romantic vibe. The most attractive spot is where the plum and camellia flowers meet. Under the camellia trees is a layer of green moss, thick and cute, like a backdrop. The whole camellia flowers fall, adorning the green backdrop like decorations, contrasting with the distant plum blossoms, creating a beautiful interplay and transition of colors, very graceful. Many great scenes are born here. Jonangu Shrine Address: 7 Nakajimacho, Toba Rikyu, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City

This time we will introduce you to Jonan-gu Shrine in Kyoto Prefecture. This is a beautiful landscape created by fallen camellias, weeping plum blossoms, and moss. The contrast of colors. It is simply "beautiful"✨️People from all over the world flock to this place at this time of year, hoping to see this view at least once. It is so crowded and crowded😅Even if you line up before the gates open on a weekday, there is already a long line💦If you miss the best time to see it, the plum blossoms will have fallen and become empty, or, on the other hand, if you go too early, there will not be a carpet of plum petals underneath...Also, the camellias are not placed there, but rather they fall on the day, so there may be a lot or a few depending on the day. It seemed quite difficult to go and see the best conditions😂💕💕 But it's such a "breathtaking view" that it's worth going to see it anyway👏✨️ You can still make it in time for the event, so if you're thinking of going, hurry up🤭❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 📝﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Spot details 📍Jonangu 🏷️ 7 Nakajima Toba Rikyu-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🕐9:00-16:30 (last admission at 16:00) 　 💰 Adults (junior high school students and above) 1000 yen Elementary school students 600 yen 🚗Free admission available - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Tips 🗓️Weeping Plum and Camellia Festival February 18th to March 22nd, 2024 ⭐Difficulty level: 5 stars It gets crowded from the morning before the gates open. Even if you line up early, people will come in like waves from behind, so it's always packed. The only advantage of going in the morning is that you can park, and even if you come later, the number of people in the photos won't change (because there are always people there). Also, it's difficult to predict the best time to see it based on last year, and I think this year the best time was a week earlier. In addition, the difference between light and dark is so great that it might be best to go either in the evening when the whole thing is in shadow, or at noon when the sun is up. Also, the amount of camellias that fall seems to vary from day to day, so whether there are a lot of them or not depends on luck. 🚗About the parking lot The parking lot fills up from around 8:30, regardless of whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday. After that, it seems that you often have to wait 60 to 90 minutes. It's free, but if you want to park smoothly, it's better to park first thing in the morning, between 8 and 8:30. Also, there are almost no coin parking lots in the neighborhood, so you may have to go a little far away. 🏍️Motorcycle, moped, and bicycle parking lot There is also free parking space here, just like for cars. 🚌For those coming by bus ・Get off at Jonangu East Exit of the city bus, 3 minutes walk ・Take the Kyoto Rakunan Express (R'EX bus) from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit and get off at Abura-no-koji Jonangu on weekdays (※Service is suspended on weekends and holidays) 🚃For those coming by train ・Get off at Takeda Station on the Karasuma Subway Line, 15 minutes walk ・Get off at Takeda Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line, 15 minutes walk 🚬Smoking area None 《Save》 and use it to plan your outing❤️ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \Couple who loves going out/ ▷Instagram @oneandonly.us We are currently posting about places to go out, mainly in Kansai and Shikokuϟ We are also looking for your recommended places👏 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #Instagramworthy #Photoworthy #Solotravel #Kyoto #Kyotosightseeing #Kyototrip #Couplestrip #Recommendedfordates #Domestictravel #Shrinesandtemples #Shrinestouring #Breathtakingviews #Jonangu Shrine #Triptoenjoyspring

I've never appreciated plum blossoms at twilight before, and it was quite an unexpected experience. Just by leaving work early and passing by Jonangu Shrine, I stumbled upon a more beautiful and stunning view that truly moved me!! For those who have never enjoyed flowers at dusk, you must go at least once!

In the morning, I went to Jonangu. While waiting for the bus, time seemed to slow down. When I finally arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was the only tourist, enjoying this quiet moment alone. These days, I saw such full red maples for the first time. They are displayed in a beautiful posture, which makes me intoxicated. The moment of falling leaves brings me endless beauty. Each leaf slowly falls from the branches, forming a scene like a scroll. After visiting Jonangu, I used the navigation to go to Ginkakuji. There, I appreciated some garden landscapes and felt its unique atmosphere. After coming out of Ginkakuji, I chose to walk to Eikando (about 2 kilometers). When visiting Eikando, you need to take off your shoes, but after a long walk, the wooden floor hurts a bit on bare feet. After leaving Eikando, I went to Tenshoan. On the road at the entrance of Tenshoan, I explored a bit, and some courtyards are free to visit.

Flowers bloom all year round, and plum blossoms are especially famous.🌸 It is also the setting for The Tale of the Heike. During the popular pilgrimage to Kumano at the time, the temple was often used as a place of devotion for the retired emperor, and prayers were offered for safe travels. The "Chinowa Kuguri" ritual is held to purify the body of the emperor. I was surprised to find out that there was a service for cars! ️ This is an event that can only be held during this season. If you are visiting Kyoto by car now, please stop by. #KyotoTourism#Temples and Shrines #RoadSafety
