[2025 Uda Attraction] Travel Guide for Matabei Zakura (Updated May)

Spring in Nara Prefecture offers a stunning landscape with a beautiful combination of flowers and ancient architecture. At the famous Nara Park, you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing while playing with deer. It's also recommended to take a short trip to see the cherry blossoms at Matabei's Cherry Tree and Toshodaiji Temple. Personally, I highly recommend Matabei's Cherry Tree. How about experiencing a shower of cherry blossoms under the giant weeping cherry tree? After enjoying the cherry blossoms, it would be nice to end the day by watching the sunset from the high ground of Todaiji Temple.☺️ A day trip from Kyoto is good, but since you're visiting an ancient city, I highly recommend staying overnight! Please enjoy the atmosphere that is different from Kyoto.🥰
