Spring in Kyoto is legendary, marked by the explosion of pink cherry blossoms (Sakura) framing ancient wooden temples. Walk down the Philosopher’s Path, which runs alongside a stone canal lined with hundreds of cherry trees. Visit the historic Kiyomizu-dera Temple which provides stunning panoramic views of the pink valley. For a traditional tea ceremony under the blossoms, head over to Maruyama Park where a massive weeping cherry tree is beautifully illuminated at night.
