Enjoy cherry blossoms ahead of their peak season 🌸
In Kyoto, cherry blossoms typically reach their peak from late March to early April. This is also the busiest time of year, as visitors flock to admire the flowers. This is because the Somei Yoshino variety, widely planted across Japan, tends to bloom all at once.
However, cherry blossoms are not limited to just one variety. With weeping cherry trees whose vivid pink blossoms and branches that cascade gracefully like a waterfall or vivid pink blossoms found in the mountains , each variety has its own unique beauty. Early-blooming types such as Kawazu-zakura bloom from late February to early March. These early sakura offer a chance to enjoy the season at a slower, more relaxed pace.
*Please note that the blooming periods mentioned here are only a general guide, and crowding might still occur during the full bloom period.
When visiting, we kindly ask that you admire the blossoms quietly, take your trash home with you, and avoid touching the flowers or branches, so that everyone can enjoy them for as long as possible.

一足先に桜を楽しみませんか？🌸
京都では例年3月下旬～4月上旬が見頃のピークですが、多くの花見客で混雑する時期でもあります。それは「ソメイヨシノ」が全国的に広がっており、ほぼ同時期に開花するためです。
しかし、桜の品種はそれだけではありません。山桜や枝垂れ桜など、種類によって見た目も様々です。例えば、鮮やかなピンク色が特徴の河津桜は、2月下旬～3月上旬にかけて一足早く開花します。早咲きの桜をゆっくり鑑賞すれば、より深く桜の魅力が感じられることでしょう。

※ここで紹介している桜の時期は目安です。満開の時期は混雑する場合があります。
静かに鑑賞する、ゴミは持ち帰る、花や枝にふれない、など桜を大切にする気持ちを持って楽しんでください。
