Recently, I saw the news that the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are in full bloom, and as a cherry blossom refugee, I feel very envious. I may be one of those people who chased after the cherry blossoms this year, but were disappointed. However, the Kawazu cherry blossoms near Yodo Station did not disappoint, and beautiful pink flowers were in bloom. I would like to explain a little about the cherry blossom varieties here. 🌸 "About Kawazu Cherry Blossoms" Kawazu cherry blossoms are not well known in China, but are popular in Japan as the "mother of early bloomers." In 1955, a resident of Kawazu Town, Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture, discovered them in the grass by the river, and after 11 years of care, they began to bloom pink flowers and became widely known. 🔷 Flowering period: From mid-March 🔷 Flowering period: More than 20 days, can be seen until around the Qingming Festival. Another widely known cherry blossom variety is the 🌸 "Somei Yoshino Sakura." Native to Japan, it is widely cultivated around the world. It is the most commonly seen cherry blossom variety in Japan. Varieties include Tareyanagi Sakura and Tokyo Sakura. 🔷Blooming period: late March to early April 🔷Flowering period: about 10 days✈️"Where to see Kawazu cherry blossoms" ①🧭Navigate "Yodo Station" and exit from Exit 4/5. There are many Kawazu cherry blossoms in front of Exit 5. ②🧭Navigate "Kawazu Cherry Blossoms on the Yodo Waterway" and follow the guide or exit from Exit 4 and go straight. ③Go to the riverside and you can see a group of cherry blossoms. 📷"How to shoot"After actually visiting, I will introduce three places suitable for shooting. 🔷Near the railway bridge🌉: A place where you can overlook the cherry blossoms, very densely packed, I think the viewpoint is the best. 🔷Side of the residential area: Because it separates the cherry blossoms from the river, you can use the large light circle to blur the cherry blossoms beautifully. 🔷Near the parking lot: There is a bench under the cherry tree, where you can sit and take pictures of enjoying the cherry blossoms. 🔷 In the cherry blossom forest: I don't really recommend this. The Kawazu cherry trees have green leaves, and when you get close, the contrast between the green and the pink cherry blossoms is so strong that the screen can look dirty. Finally, I hope you all have a good time! #KyotoTrip #CherryBlossomSeason #KawazuCherryBlossoms

I booked my flight and hotel a month in advance to enjoy a cherry blossom trip in Japan. However, a few days before departure, the weather forecast predicted continued rain, which delayed the cherry blossom blooming by a week. From Kamo River to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, from Fushimi Jikkokubune to Sewari-tei, there was no sign of cherry blossoms anywhere. I was disappointed, but I found Kawazu cherry blossoms at Yodo Station and went to shoot them on the morning of the 27th. I still plan to enjoy the cherry blossom storm for these two days🌸 📍Yodo Station 🚇Take the Keihan Line to Yodo Station and walk 15 minutes from the exit to arrive. As soon as you leave the station, you will see a pink sign🪧 ⏰It is recommended to go in the morning on a sunny day. There are not many people. 📅The shooting date is March 27, 2024. 📷Cherry Blossom Photography Strategy: 1⃣️When shooting spreading cherry blossoms, it is very beautiful to shoot with people with a telephoto lens. 2⃣️Taking a full-body photo under a cherry tree with cherry blossoms in the background will create a nice atmosphere. 3⃣️Taking a photo of cherry blossoms with a Japanese-style house in the background will give it an anime-like feel. 4⃣️Taking a bird's-eye view of people under a cherry tree from a high place will give it a movie-like feel. Next time, we'll bring you more tips for traveling to see cherry blossoms in Japan, so stay tuned👋🏻 • #SpringTrip #OsakaTrip #KyotoTrip #KyotoPhotography #CherryBlossomSeason #TakePhotosWithSpring #JapaneseCherryBlossoms #SpringWalkingGuide #KyotoCherryBlossoms #SpringSceneryThroughTheLens #KyotoTrip #KyotoCherryBlossoms

There are about 200 Kawazu cherry trees planted along Yodo Waterway. They were planted by local residents in 2002, forming a beautiful cherry blossom trail along the waterway. From mid-February to mid-March, you can enjoy the charming scenery of Kawazu cherry blossoms in full bloom, and the weekends are packed with cherry blossom viewing tourists. The Kawazu cherry blossoms (かわづさくら) that bloom in early February are an early blooming variety of cherry blossoms. Unlike most of the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms (ソメイヨシノ) seen in Japan, the Kawazu cherry blossoms are bright pink in color and have a longer flowering period of nearly a month. Because Yodo Suidori is the fastest place to view cherry blossoms in Kyoto, it has received a lot of attention in recent years and its popularity has skyrocketed, bringing fame and tourism revenue to "Yodo". #100 Ways to Travel #Yandishuilu

Speaking of spring cherry blossoms, Somei Yoshino is famous, but this time we recommend the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms🌸 with their deep and vivid pink color!!

There is a supermarket nearby, so you can do your shopping there too! If you want to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms, which are at their best in early March, we recommend the Yodo Canal in Kyoto!

Between Kyoto and Osaka, there is a place where the Kawazu cherry trees bloom from late February to early March. Taking the Keihan train to 'Yodo' station, it takes about 1 hour from Kyoto and about 1.5 hours from Osaka. First, right outside the station, there are cherry blossoms at the bus stop. The area isn't busy with traffic, so you can walk up close to the cherry blossoms for photos. (Pictures two and three) Then, you can walk to the ruins of Yodo Castle, where there is a shrine, and right beside it is a cherry blossom tunnel. Not many people know about this spot, so you can take photos at leisure (Picture four) Lastly, of course, is the Yodo River, which is the most popular spot for cherry blossom viewing and, of course, the most beautiful! (Pictures one and five)

Been traveled to Japan few times but never visit during cherry blossom season. Finally make it to this flower season and got the chance to see it in full bloom. The weather in Japan is so unpredictable, we are lucky to catch the earliest batch’s. It was still raining when we arrived but luckily it stopped for awhile for us to take this pretty pictures. Still in awe and i understand why cherry blossom in Japan is a bucket list. #CherryBlossom2024 #cherryblossom

#cherryblossom2024 #japan #kyoto We believed the forecast, that this year the cherry blossoming will come early, so we booked our trip to Japan for the last week of Japan. Despite the forecast, the weather cooled down, and it rained most of our time, and 99% of this magical trees haven't started blooming. Luckily there are some places with early blooming species, so we could get some of the sakura-feeling. I recommend those mid-late March sakura-seeker to visit the Kawazu-Zakura Cherry Trees in Yodo, Kyoto [淀の河津桜]. Very nice experience, even on a rainy day!
