This time Wendy and I decided to meet some friends in Kyoto to enjoy cherry blossoms, picnics, and bike rides together!Although the cherry blossoms are gradually in full bloom towards the northeast of Japan, the Kansai region will come to an end. We still want to introduce this 11-day journey as a reference for your planning next year. If you find it practical, you may wish to leave a message at the end of the article for encouragement, yes The greatest kinetic energy of writing.

1. Route information
There are already many low-cost airlines stationed on the Taiwan-Osaka route, so whenever the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are in peak season, everyone can have more choices and get a reasonable fare. If you want to buy a ticket temporarily, you can usually ask Please travel agencies to arrange alternate seats for non-low-cost airlines. The information on direct flights from Taiwan to Osaka is as follows.
a. Traditional airlines
-Taoyuan → Osaka Kansai Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,TransAsia Airways,Cathay Pacific,Japan Airlines JAL
-Kaohsiung → Osaka Kansai Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air
b. Low-cost airlines
-Taoyuan → Osaka Kansai Airport:Jetstar Airways,Peach Airlines,Vanilla Air,Tigerair Taiwan,V Air
-Kaohsiung → Osaka Kansai Airport:Peach Airlines,Scoot,Tigerair Taiwan
2. Fare information
In the past, we used to buy tickets on Jetstar Airways. We booked the tickets online about 4 months before the cherry blossom season. Both times we checked and ordered the tickets before the beginning of December at the end of the year. The starting fare was about 12, and this trip was made earlier. I checked the price in mid-to-late August 12,000 and found that the price was similar to what I had bought in the past. After discussing with Wendy, I decided to buy the ticket first.Another sharing friend decided to go to see the cherry blossoms together in mid-to-late March this year. She asked a travel agency to alternate a seat at China Airlines. The departure time is 2015/8～3/3, and the fare is about 31. , For your reference.
▲ Jetstar Japan’s Red-Eye Class is available on Jetstar’s official website. It leaves early in the morning and returns more than 11 o’clock in the evening, which can give you a lot of fun.
[Tree Cafe Tennoji, Osaka]
I thought it would be quicker to take the red-eye flight to Kansai Airport early and go to the JR Office to buy tickets. However, during the cherry blossom season, many foreign tourists visited and waited for about 20 minutes to buy the tickets. I believe it is better than Other flight times are much faster.Tonight's accommodation is near Osaka Tennoji Station. Wendy decided to put his luggage in the Tennoji station storage box first, go to have breakfast and run the trip first, and then pick up the luggage and go to the check-in area after returning.The Tree Cafe is located on the first floor of the Mio Department Store. The 4 breakfast sets are enough to fill the hungry belly first, and they are also quite delicious.
▲ I have always liked egg salad-flavored sandwiches. I bought this for breakfast during this trip.
[Shitennoji Temple]
The climate in Japan has also changed in 2016. Originally, the expected date of the cherry blossoms was announced in late February. It was suggested that the Kansai region will be fully bloomed at the end of the month. For example, the full bloom date of Osaka is 2/3 and Kyoto is 28/3. The weather turned cold rapidly in a week, so that there were buds everywhere on the cherry trees, but only stayed in the form of 30 to 1 blooms.At that time, a website announced that close to 2% of the flowers were blooming at Shitennoji Temple in Osaka. Wendy was the first to come here for the accuracy of the experiment. However... the blooming degree of the cherry blossoms was closer to 2%.
▲ I can see the blossoming buds on the tree. This journey is indeed from the blooming to the fading of the flowers.
[Accommodation アパート Tsuruhashi レジデンシ]
After two trips to view cherry blossoms in Keihan and two trips to see maple leaves in Kyoto, this season is when a hotel in Kyoto is hard to find and prices are rising. Since my first attempt to stay at Airbnb when I was traveling in Tokyo in June 2, I made a reservation this time. The average price of the three Kyoto Airbnbs is about NT$2~2015. They all stayed in a small suite with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. But a shocking event happened a week before departure!It was the first landlord who temporarily informed me to cancel the reservation because he was reported by the neighbor to check the water meter and could not provide me with housing!
I was in a hurry that day, while checking out Agoda’s reasonably priced hotels in the Osaka area, on the one hand, I contacted the host and Airbnb to ask them for a refund. Fortunately, I found this hotel and was close to an Airbnb-style room. I was finally relieved! (→ Check house price)
[Tsuruhashi Yamato Roast Pork やまとく]
Osaka Tsuruhashi is known as the Yakiniku Street. Most of the main features are Japanese black beef and all-you-can-eat or all-you-can-drink. When we went out to hunt for food, we were already attracted by the smell of yakiniku. Yamato Roasted Pork やまとく", it’s not easy to find in the alleys, but it was already full of guests when I entered and asked. The service staff told me to wait for 2 hours to get a seat. But this hit me very much. I adhere to the belief that I must eat it. Arranged to come for dinner at 8:30, and then went to the coffee shop on the street outside with Wendy and waited for a cake.This yakiniku restaurant is a smoke-free barbecue, and the 3,700 yen set meal per person is the first choice. I still can’t forget the taste of Kuroge Wagyu in retrospect.
‧ Day2 area movement: Tsuruhashi Station → Osaka Sayamaike Park → Osaka Nihonbashi
[Osaka Sayamaike Park]
As mentioned earlier, because of the cold weather, almost all predictions were inaccurate. Before I set off, I also tweeted a rhetoric with my friends, "3/28～4/7 Pack Keihan Sakura at the most beautiful time!", no Thinking that all famous places have a flowering rate of 1 to 2%, they are all ready to buy electrical appliances or cosmeceuticals first.Surprisingly, Wendy found a good place for cherry blossoms and the flowering rate reached 7%. He hurried to take advantage of the good weather and went to Sayamaike Park in Sayama City, Osaka. The cherry blossom forest on a wave embankment ushered in spring, and Japanese tourists gathered below. At a picnic, whether it is watching the children running and laughing or the couple sharing the afternoon, suddenly there is a feeling of "let go and live~".
▲ The Sayama Pond was built 1,400 years ago, and there are flags or waterway covers on the site.
▲ Picnic life, integrating into Japanese life, maybe we still need such a bit of fun to slow down and live life.
[Home Baking Workshop カフェlittleisland]
After several trips to Keihan and his party, they gradually abandoned chasing gourmet restaurants introduced on the Internet. Instead, they switched to restaurants or small shops during the itinerary. First, there was more flexibility in the itinerary, and second, you can often find food hidden in private houses. This is the case with this privately-built coffee shop. The crisp and refreshing salad is paired with sesame noodle-wrapped pork rolls. Finally, you can sip the earl grey milk tea.
[Nihombashi Denden Street]
Before leaving, I wanted to come to Keihan to see some electrical products I wanted to buy, such as Panasonic’s scalp machine, leg massage, hair curler heating set, etc. I checked an electric street in Osaka, and thought it would be the same as Tokyo Akiba. It’s the same as Akihabara, but I didn’t expect it to be the same as Akihabara, but it’s a paradise for anime fans. The shops sell mostly toys, models, DVDs, etc., but Wendy still buys his favorite Star Wars model, I think This is also an unexpected gain during the trip? (laugh)
▲ The hand-made model is very delicate, let Wendy start immediately.
[Dumpling の王将]
Does anyone like us think that the king of dumplings will be delicious?This chain store has already been introduced by many friends, so I will share with you here. Every time we come, one of the dishes we must order is "Fried Pork Liver with Bean Sprouts and Vegetables". It tastes sweet and salty, but it tends to be more delicious. .
‧ Day3 area movement: Tsuruhashi Station → Tenjin Bridge, Kita-ku, Osaka → Tsurumi-ku, Osaka
[Owl Cafe Owl Cafe]
I often see friends or clubs sharing the Owl Coffee Shop on the board. These little birds are on their shoulders or on their heads, and their cute appearance with round eyes keeps calling me to visit, so I insist on going there except for a few famous cherry blossom viewing spots. This cafe is also a must-visit on the list.It is divided into one hour every hour. It requires advance registration and interaction with the owls according to the instructions of the on-site personnel. The store time and venue are arranged appropriately. Almost all guests can definitely take photos or interact with these darlings. It is highly recommended.
[Nathan Town Tenichi Division]
After stepping out of Owl Cafe, stroking my grumbling belly, I had to search for food again. It was originally expected that food is not the focus of the itinerary, because as long as I am excited or the beautiful scenery is in front of me, I will get up and take pictures. Forget about being hungry, after playing with a group of cute owls, and Wendy choose a noodle shop nearby, and come to a bowl of hot soup, more than anything else.
[Osaka Tsurumi Mitsui outlet]
I searched for information on the Internet. The Osaka Outlet can be divided into Mitsui and Rinku Town. I am considering which one to go to. I want to go shopping last year.Toyama City Mitsui OutletIt's super good and the brands are very complete, so I chose Mitsui Outlet Osaka as the end of today's itinerary.But I think this place is more focused on leisure brands. There are substantial discounts but too much casual home. The bags, accessories or clothing that I wanted to buy on a large scale have to be given up. Friends who usually have sports or mountaineering habits, I recommend you to visit here. .
[松屋フーズ]
The origin of He Matsuya was on the last day of a trip. He Wendy didn’t have much Japanese currency to eat and drink. He accidentally saw Matsuya outside Osaka Kansai Airport. I didn’t expect that the price marked on it was so cheap. With our meager remnants Cash is just enough to eat one meal per person. Afterwards, as long as you want to save money when you travel, or if you don’t want to find good food, you will go to Matsuya and order a roasted pork rice.
‧ Day4 regional movement: Tsuruhashi Station → Kyoto Station → Kyoto Sanke District → Kyoto Sakyo District → Kyoto Kamiya District → Kyoto Shimogyo District
[Shanke Canal]
Shanke Canal is the famous cherry blossom viewing spot that I designated to Wendy. It is different from the horticultural scenery carefully planted in temples or imperial gardens. The natural and pristine scenery I want to take a rest here. The bright yellow rape blossoms on the river bank reflect the Yoshino cherry Pink, so we have arrived very early. There are still some photographers taking pictures on the spot. If you come here early during non-holiday hours, it will be more comfortable than other famous places.
[松屋フーズ]
This point will not be repeated. (At the request of a friend, we will accompany you to have a meal in the Matsuya of Yamashina Station)
[Rent a cycle EMUSICA]
When traveling to and from Kyoto in the past, I often use public transportation. I never thought that I could rent a bicycle. Rent a cycle EMUSICA, located outside Demachiyanagi Station, is a store highly recommended by my friends. You can rent a bicycle for a day of fun for only 500 yen. , Can be returned before 8pm.
[Kyoto Imperial Garden]
After renting two bicycles, I followed my friends and rode all the way to the Kyoto Imperial Garden. The weeping cherry blossoms here are blooming very well, especially the white ones bloom all over the garden. I took a waterproof floor mat with my friends and picked a good view. Sit down in a comfortable position, and the picnic in the afternoon became the mode of this trip. I didn't deliberately rush to the number of attractions. In order to get together with a few friends I haven't met for a long time, I talked a lot and let me express my feelings a lot through this journey.
[Isan (イーサン)]
My friend was studying in Kyoto before and met a Thai classmate. He told me that this Thai restaurant was certified by my classmates. The chef is from Thailand. The service staff on the premises will say that the Thai language and the menu are all authentic craftsmanship. I have to try it. Evaluation certification.These dishes in the picture are all must be ordered when returning to Thailand. The chef has slightly adjusted according to the tastes of the Japanese, but still does not lose its deliciousness. It is guessed that some common Thai spices are not easy to grow due to the latitude and climate of Japan, or they may be quite Expensive, I will skip a few flavors, and those who love Thai food can still taste it.
[Accommodation Casamia In Kyoto]
Casamia In Kyoto is located near Nijo Castle. All the equipment in the room is fully equipped. The landlord also provides a Wi-Fi sharing device for Internet use. Whenever we go out for a trip, we use the surrounding buses to travel to and from the attractions. It makes me a little better. I think it’s most convenient to choose the surrounding area of Kyoto Station. In fact, if you are familiar with Kyoto transportation and flexibly plan your itinerary, you don’t have to adapt to the location and spend a relatively high price to order hotels. In this part, I will write another article to share your booking experience in the future.
‧ Day5 regional movement: Kyoto Shimogyo District → Kyoto Sakyo District → Kyoto Higashiyama District
[出町ふたば]
My friend took us on a local tour, and specifically mentioned the shop in Demachi ふたば. The crowd was full of people (mostly purchased by Japanese), which confirmed that it seems to be very famous!On this day, due to the rain, we met near Demachiyanagi Station. Friends thoughtfully queued up to buy this sakura biscuit and daifuku. The Q soft biscuit crust was wrapped with red bean filling, hoping to give us a chance to taste the local taste.
[Gion Shirakawa]
I took my parents-in-law to this attraction in 2013, but it was a pity that there was wind and rain in the spring, and the petals of the cherry blossoms were knocked down, leaving only the weeping cherry and the green willows.Gion Shirakawa in a rainy day is still full of white pink cherry blossoms. There are a few couples on a street taking photos under the light rain. It is quite hard, but the street with not many tourists is set against the background of cherry blossoms. The picture is full of happiness .
[Gion 麺处むらじ]
After enjoying the view of the cherry blossoms in the rainy day, my friends couldn't help but hungry and called for food. They also found "麺处むらじ" in the alleys and pushed the curtains aside. There were several groups of guests waiting in line. Fortunately, they didn't wait too long.Friends who are traveling with me can already be said to be locals in Kyoto. They are familiar with where they are delicious, fun and easy to buy, and they are familiar with Japanese. The on-site help and communication are always better than if we talk nonsense, like this bowl of lemon ramen can be immediately Recognize the season's limited, taste the refreshing taste of ramen soup.
[Gion Garden きなな]
There is an ice cream shop hidden in Hanami Koji. This is shared by my friend’s senior photographers. When I visited the maple viewing the year before, I had the opportunity to lead them to taste delicious ice products. At that time, they promised not to introduce this shop. There is no room for over-expansion of the crowds, but in fact, I have searched for a few friends who have introduced it. I will sort out the information to let everyone know about this store, so stay tuned.
[Takashimaya Department Store Tour]
I have always skipped over the food court of department stores or the B1 floor. I really don’t know which brands are worth buying or famous. I didn’t expect that my friend, who is here, has already opened up the heaven and earth line and pulled us straight to Takashimaya. , From senbei, shrimp cake, POKEY premium version to honey cake, we will pay the bill obediently in almost every store. The on-site tasting is also a kind of magic. It is the first time to return to Taiwan with a lot of biscuits and snacks, and there are some limited editions. toy. (Because this friend is a toy pass! They were all pushed to the pit~)

‧ Day6 regional movement: Kyoto Shimogyo District → Kyoto Sakyo District → Kyoto Higashiyama District
[Kamogawa Cherry Blossoms]
Friends live near here and keep advocating that we must come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms. The row of Yoshino cherry blossoms is quite magnificent, with petals passing through and flicking under the tree. Sometimes couples or couples come here for a walk. The elegant living atmosphere reveals everything.
[Kyoto Botanical Garden]
The Kyoto Botanical Garden is very suitable for visiting in spring and autumn. In the spring, the cherry blossoms bloom in the garden. At the same time, many colors of tulips are planted. Picnic under the trees with Japanese people and bring their own fruits and desserts. It is even more difficult to shoot without people. , I admire the newcomers who enter the park to take wedding photos, especially photographers who have to constantly look for scenes and locations, avoid the crowds who enter the park, and secretly observe Japanese newcomers taking wedding photos. Up to now, they seem to be Japanese dresses or white dresses. Yarn, not like Taiwan, will there be various dress styles (Western style)?
▲▼ See many beautiful brides during the cherry blossom season.
[Toyo Pavilion]
Toyo-tei is located next to the Kyoto Botanical Garden. It is a super delicious restaurant that friends praised. It is famous for its hamburger steak and century-old pudding. At that time, there were more than 20 groups of people waiting in line. Speaking of sitting and resting for a while, some guests were not there when the number was called, so it was our turn to be pretty soon!The hamburger steak is delicious when served, and you can also dip the bread into the sauce and bite it. It's an absolutely full meal!In addition, the pudding after the meal is great. Because of the century-old technology and taste, the fragrant caramel sauce and the pudding melt into one bite... (Damn it, I'm so hungry!).
[He Mochuan Cherry Blossoms]
On this day, the half-timbered weeping cherry tree next to the Kamogawa River has not yet bloomed, but the Yoshino cherry blossoms on both sides of the bank are in full bloom. They are also riding a bicycle, the weather is no longer so cold, and occasionally a few clusters of scattered sunlight, It can always make us reluctant to leave and can't put down our mobile phones. In the end, we have to use our eyes and heart to feel the colorful spring.
[Gion Shirakawa Night Sakura]
I visited here for the second time in the evening. I didn’t expect that there would be a large crowd at the end of get off work on weekends. The full heads had to carefully select a few places to take pictures. The stream in front of the various pavilions, the cherry blossoms, and the lights are in harmony with each other, leaving me with the most beautiful scene. .
[Gyuukaku Ushikaku Kawaramachi Shijo Store]
When we travel to Keihan, we will never go wrong with all-you-can-eat delicious yakiniku. We even wanted to visit the love shop four times in this area.Bengue Roasted Pork, I didn’t expect to see this croissant roast meat shop on the corner of the street, with a brand new billboard and waiting for the crowds on the second floor. Let us decide to find out. Fortunately, we were quite full at noon. After waiting in line for 25~30 minutes, it was already night. At 10 o'clock, I am ready to sprint hard here!
‧ Day7 regional movement: Kyoto Shimogyo District → Nara Yamatotakada City → Kyoto Nakagyo District
[Nara Takada Senbonzakura]
As the date approaches the time of returning to Japan, and the cherry blossoms are gradually in full bloom, the only worry is that the weather in Keihan is always cloudy and not clear. Is the rain god staying in the Kansai area... Hurry up!Wendy used the weather query tool and saw that Nara was occasionally sunny on a cloudy day, plus the beautiful scenery of Senbonzakura in full bloom, and agreed with friends to meet, prepare food and floor mats, and start a weekend picnic day to spend an afternoon relaxing. time.

[やよいgen Kawaramachi Sanjo shop]
After returning to Kyoto, our group was worrying about where to go for dinner. Kyoto Sanjo gathered travelers from get off work and weekend outings, and we were too large to be seated. Friends yelled and went to やよい轩 for a set meal. Picture This is Wendy's meal, and everyone can tell how hungry you are from the portion.
‧ Day8 regional movement: Kyoto Sakyo District → Kyoto Yawata City → Kyoto Fushimi District → Kyoto Nakakyo District
[Yawata City Backward Embankment]
Since I started to write blogs, I have met a group of Japanese travel friends through social tools. Basically I would call them bad friends because the cherry blossoms under their lens are so beautiful, especially the scenic spot behind the embankment, under the blue sky. The petals floating in the snow-white cherry blossom forest always make me unforgettable. Taking advantage of this cherry blossom viewing trip, I ask Wendy to schedule the schedule anyway, even if my friends say that there are many people and muddy rainy days, they can’t stop the shooting of this scenic spot. Determination. (soul)
▲▼ There is only one important point... "Everyone has to go to work on Monday."
[Fushimi Ten Stone Boat Cruise]
In 2013, the cherry blossom viewing party took the parents-in-law to visit here. At that time, they saw the ten-stone boat sliding across the river and the green willows. Taking advantage of the full time today, Wendy begged Wendy to take the cruise together and feel Fushimi. Different districts and cities.
[Fushimi Momoyama waterfront cherry blossom viewing]
After boarding the cruise, we saw blooming pink cherry blossoms and rows of willow trees on both sides of the river. Looking at the map and route, we could walk all the way from the boat to Fushimi-Momoyama Station. The scenery is somewhat similar to that of Omi Hachiman, but more There is more elegance in the water and green of the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes when you enter it, you always have to take your breath and look at the beautiful scenery in front of you. Those who are poor can only say "It's so beautiful~".
[Keihan Sanjo Station 麺处あしかり]
After returning to the city, I originally made up my mind to go to the cheap and delicious beef set restaurant praised by my friends, but I hurt my heel in 2012 when I saw the cherry blossoms. I endured the pain every day and walked through the sights you saw. I couldn’t walk any longer. I saw this noodle shop in the same building after leaving the station. I decided it was this one on the spur of the moment, but I didn’t expect its soba noodles to be delicious. It is close to the style of dry fried noodles. It’s worth a visit. .
[Black Ship Honey Cake]
A few days ago, I bought a Fusago House Honey Cake. I wanted to bring it back to Taiwan again. On the way back today to take the bus, I suddenly stopped and stared at the store. The in-store service staff hurriedly came out to say hello. However, they are all very friendly from Taiwanese. Not only did they introduce their cakes in detail, let me try them one by one, but also introduced the store’s signature dessert "Strawberry Dorayaki", which is shipped from Osaka daily, except for seasonal restrictions. Without a word, I immediately bought two of them and brought them back to my friends to taste!
‧ Day9 regional movement: Kyoto Sakyo District → Kyoto Higashiyama District → Kyoto Sakyo District → Kameoka City, Kyoto → Kyoto Nishikyo District → Kyoto Nakakyo District
[Keshang Railway]
The third is the designated attraction that must not be included in the itinerary. I heard that many Geyou said that you have to get up early to take pictures of no one. This is true!It’s rare that good weather reveals the blue sky. Travelers all get up in the morning and go out early. There were already some tourists when we arrived at about XNUMX o’clock. This railway line is surrounded by pink cherry blossoms and has become one of the favorite shooting locations for newcomers. Opportunity, maybe next time I will try harder to come here to take pictures earlier, although this picture is already very fascinating.
[Okazaki Canal Sakura Corridor Ten Shizhou]
Wendy and I came here in 2012 and wanted to make an appointment for the cruise on the same day. Unfortunately, the appointment was full at that time. When I passed by this day, I saw a younger brother sending a leaflet and going straight. Maybe it was too early. , There are no tourists, so lucky to take the second boat that day, let the boatman guide us along the way, tourists on the bridge or on both sides will definitely take pictures like this when seeing the boat passing by.
[Nanatani River Serenity Avenue, Kameoka City]
Do you have a Japanese travel information fan group that you must follow?This time I saw matcha dango sharing a photo of cherry blossoms on both sides of the bank with a stream passing by. It was said that it was the Nanatani River in Kameoka City and planted 1,500 cherry blossoms. After discussing with Wendy, I decided to sprint in the last few days. The transportation is inconvenient (the distance between buses is long) and it is no wonder that there are not too many tourists. As a result, there are only local tourists visiting by car. It is not noisy and you can feel the real meaning of Hanami.
▲ Based on our meager experience in cherry blossom viewing, this is the best cherry blossom picnic spot.
[Arashiyama %Arabica Coffee]
It's hard to imagine how a cup of coffee would make these people wait in line until you taste it yourself. The owner of %Arabica Coffee is a world-class coffee latte champion. The coffee beans are roasted in the shop. You can smell the aroma of coffee from the end of Toyue Bridge. It is hard not to be attracted to coffee lovers to sip this charming coffee.
[Lanshan Duyue Bridge]
My friend met with us in Arashiyama. After hearing about our day’s itinerary, he said, "Your itinerary is very hard today!" Yes, when we walked slowly to the other half of the Duyue Bridge, my feet would have long been resigned. Because of the pain of an old heel injury, my friends and Wendy were going to buy light food to fill my stomach. I looked up at the sunset and the weeping cherry trees in front of me, and it was inevitable that there was a light sigh that the scenery was about to pass away.
[タイガー Gyoza Club Shijo Karasuma]
I originally wanted to take my friends to a roast meat shop praised by her boss tonight, and it was also used as a celebration for her birthday, but my friend looked at the menu and found it was not worthwhile to order a la carte (she can eat very well), so I changed to the surrounding area This dumpling shop.I like coriander myself, so I came here for a night with chicken fried noodles and coriander. How did I know that it looked like this when it was served.
▲ Did the boss put 1 kg of coriander in my bowl? ! (Panic)
[Accommodation Home In Kyoto]
This Airbnb in Shijo, it must be said... the actual scene is very different from the photos on the website!After taking a few quick shots, I told Wendy, "I don’t want to take them anymore, I don’t want to introduce the place of accommodation for the first time." I didn’t expect this guy to say seriously, "You can still introduce it! Let people know that this is a landmine, don’t choose." It’s just that I can’t finish writing what I like. I don’t have much motivation to write about mines. That’s why if I don’t say that readers won’t know, it turns out that it’s not written by bloggers, but “good and worth reporting.” I can't finish it!".
‧ Day10 regional movement: Kyoto Nakagyo Ward → Nara Sabo River → JR Nara Station → Kyoto Siki-gun → Sakyo District, Kyoto
[Nara Sabogawa]
It’s only today that I discovered why friends visit Kyoto so frequently to see cherry blossoms. It is not only Kyoto’s famous cherry blossom viewing spots, but Nara has many waterfront cherry blossoms to enjoy. In the morning, we locked in the Sabo River here, not only bought breakfast, and sat down. Taste and enjoy on the stairs, basking in the sun, and admiring the beautiful flowers and colors in front of you, and even the old man brought the sketch tools to record this stretch of flower forest in 2016.
▲ Because Hanami makes me feel that Japanese people enjoy life.
[やよいken JR Nara Station Store]
Omitted here, please see the previous description.
[Kyoto Tamagawa Embankment]
After 10 days of crippling scenery, I had already given up the idea of going back to Kyoto to meet with friends. Wendy said that the last place to enjoy cherry blossoms, okay...slowly, stepping into this place with pain in my feet. The cherry blossom tunnel and the Yuchuan embankment are more pristine and unsculpted, accompanied by the lives of the people on both sides, and children playing in the water.
[Viewing cherry blossoms in Kamo River and Kamo River]
I rented a bicycle for the last time at Demachiyanagi Station and visited it three times with friends. The Yoshino cherry blossoms next to the river bank were fully bloomed. Many people were sitting or lying on the grass. This is a performance of enjoying life, which is really enviable.
[The Tao of Philosophy Ye Sakura]
We have seen the cherry blossoms in full bloom under the blue sky of the Tao of Philosophy, and we walked into a carpet of cherry blossoms in the rain with our in-laws. Fortunately, we were able to see the night cherry blossoms of the Tao of Philosophy the night before going back to Taiwan, not too much. Visitors, only the quiet night and the light and shadow, mark the perfect end of a cherry blossom tour.
[Da Yin Canteen]
Afterwards, we chose a restaurant at the entrance of the Tao of Philosophy. This hot bowl of grilled fish noodle soothes the hearts and stomachs of travelers. After these days of flower dance, we are ready to return to Taiwan and continue to work hard. The next trip is full of kinetic energy.
‧ Day11 regional movement: Kyoto Station → Osaka Kansai Airport → Taoyuan Airport
Today we encountered Haruka and the strong wind stopped the Kansai Limited Express Haruka. We took the bus from Kyoto Station to Hineno and changed trains. Originally thought we would transfer to the airport by bus here, but the station staff said that we could transfer to Rinku Town. Take a bus from Rinku Town to the airport.The scene was chaotic.
