Kiya Machado (きやまちどおり) is our first cherry blossom viewing spot after arriving in Kyoto. Beautiful Yoshino cherry blossoms are planted along both sides of the Takase River, and some weeping willows are interspersed with pink and green interweaving spring.
It's been five years since I set foot in Kyoto this time. The scenery here is still charming. Follow Dafang and Xiao V to visit Kiya Machado. Thanks to the guidance of these two travel experts, I will know this private house for cherry blossom viewing.Walking along the Takase River and approaching Kawaramachi, it will become more and more lively. This has been a busy area of Kyoto until now. Therefore, the shops on both sides even plan seats for viewing cherry blossoms, so that you can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms while you want to eat. Duo, so if you have the opportunity, you might as well choose a coffee shop or a favorite meal and enjoy it here.
This time following Sa Sa’s suggestion, we postponed the original schedule of cherry blossom viewing in early April for a week, and we changed to 4/7 to depart here. In terms of Kiyachodori cherry blossoms, they are almost in full bloom, but due to the climate. , I can still see a few flower buds at the end of the treetops, but from the small bridges of the Takase River, there is still a pink cherry blossom in the depth of field.So on weekends, there are still many people watching cherry blossoms along the way.
In addition, after the query...
"The Takase River is an artificial river that begins to diverge near the lower reaches of Kiyacho-dori Nijo in the Chukyo District, forming a tributary of the Kamo River, which flows southward parallel to the Kamo River, and flows into the Kamo River near the Taohua Bridge in Chukyo, Shimokyo, and Southern Districts, and in the Higashiyama District. Fukuine diverted again, flowing through the Fushimi district, and finally into the Uji River. The Takase River is 10 kilometers long and 7 meters wide. It was excavated by Kakukura in 1611. The Takase River prospered the water transport between Kyoto and Fushimi. Forest. The "Takase Boat" of the European and foreign countries is based on this. There are nine docks for loading and unloading goods on the river. The Kiyacho Nijo at the source of the Takase River is called "Ichinobujo". There is also a stone monument, which is listed as National Historic Site.” (The above text is from Baidu)
In the evening, we came to the Takase River. This artificial river stretches down to allow you to continuously enjoy the cherry blossoms on both sides. With the extension of the cherry blossom viewing route, the crowds can be relieved. It will not be like the cherry blossom viewing event that has burst a while ago, so it is quite pretty. It is recommended that everyone arrange a cherry blossom viewing party, and this attraction can be included.In addition, because of the historical background of Kiya Machado, there is the tomb of Toyotomi Hideji's family here, and secondly, it is also the place where the Japanese reformer Sakamoto Ryoma was assassinated. Friends who have studied Dahe drama can also visit the original site.
