Recommended course
From standard to original
Here are some recommended courses in Keihoku.-
At Joshoko-ji Temple, there are three types of cherry blossoms: Kokonoe no Sakura, Sakon no Sakura, and Mikurumagaeshi no Sakura. There is Sakura of the famous tree.
Since the time of full bloom is different for each, it is a special place where you can enjoy cherry blossoms for about two weeks from the first bloom to the last full bloom.
Then, after taking a short break at a restaurant with a nice view in the middle of the cherry blossom viewing, we will go around the cherry blossoms of Sanmei-in Temple, which stands in the village of Satoyama.
*The cherry blossom season in Keihoku is a little later than in urban areas of Kyoto. In some years, they start blooming around the end of March and continue until mid-April, while in others they start blooming in early April and can be seen until the end of April.
However, this year's weather is expected to be around average, so please refer to Keihoku Cherry Blossom Blooming Information.

Keihoku is located north of Kyoto city, has a low average annual temperature, and the cherry blossoms bloom the latest in Kyoto city, so you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing for a long time.
At the same time as the plum blossoms fall, cherry blossom competitions begin everywhere, including river embankments and temples and shrines.
The cherry blossom tour here is a course that tours the cherry blossoms scattered along the small Yuge River, which originates at the watershed of the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean.
Let's buy Kusamochi at a Japanese sweets shop on the way and eat it under the cherry blossoms.

First up is Woody Keihoku Roadside Station, a famous roadside station where you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing. Next, you'll visit the Suspension Bridge and Weeping Cherry Blossoms over the Kamikatsura River, then Tochimoto Hyakuhonzakura, a row of cherry trees along the banks of the Kamikatsura River. Along the way, you'll take a break at Karin Garden Cafe, a rose garden surrounded by forest along the Akashi River, a tributary of the river. Finally, you'll visit Hosenji Temple at the foot of the Satoyama mountain area to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
