Cherry blossom @ Gion

Cherrry blossoms are finally fully blooming!
Meteorology agency predicted they bloom end of March. But, it suddenly got cold and it took time to fully bloom. You see? It is hard to forecast when cherry blossoms will come out.

Yesterday, I went to Shirakawa street at Gion area. Now is the best time for cherry blossoms, so that it was very crawded.


This area is the very place you can feel Kyoto. There are wodden houses beside the small river.


At night time, lights are put in this area. This is the moment I feel happy to live in Kyoto!
