★ Kyoto NO.1, Daigoji's Sakura is full bloom soon!

Daigoji temple is very famous Buddhist temple and well known for UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kyoto. One more speciality of this temple is gorgeous Sakura in Spring!! You would be amazed its unique breathtaking beauty of the tree. Don't miss this onece-a-year chance when you visit Kyoto in Spring!

When you ask the people, "what is most special Sakura in Kyoto?" Most of them say... "It's Shidare-zakura in Reihokan at Godaiji temple "  You can see soon it's really true when you visit and see with your eyes!! It's really great. :) 


It has so great impact like make your sense of Sakura totally change. Don't miss it! Reihokan (Museum). Access from Nio-mon (Gate) of Shimo-Daigo (the lower part of Daigo)
