There are many varieties of cherry blossoms planted in Kyoto. The flowering period is from the end of March to mid-April. It is in a spring pink scenery. This cherry blossom viewing trip will let us pass by Somei Yoshino Sakura after the 4/5 spring sakura. However, I was able to see a full bloom of Omuro Sakura at Ninwa Temple, and the beautiful scenery attracted people to watch.

Therefore, this place is also called "Omuro Gosho", and the cherry blossoms planted are also called "Omuro Sakura."The Omuro Sakura at Ninwa Temple has a late blooming season. The most special feature is that the cherry blossoms usually grow at the end of the branches, but the Omuro Sakura is full of flowers from beginning to end, very dense and dense.

Experience of viewing cherry blossoms at Ninwa Temple's Omuro Sakura
I thought that the cherry blossoms in Kyoto were the pink of weeping cherry and the white pink of Somei Yoshino cherry. When we arrived at Ninwa Temple, we bought the entrance ticket to depict the scenery of the five-storied pagoda on the cherry blossom forest.
For the parents-in-law, the Shiga area has seen the infinite and magnificent scenery of cherry blossoms. We still hope that during this journey, we can let them see the blooming side of Kyoto. And this day is really lucky. God has appreciated us the most. In the wonderful weather, even the Omuro Sakura in the temple is full of flowers waiting to be visited.
There are more than 200 Omuro Sakura trees planted in the temple, and they are concentrated in the same area. You can watch them up close along the trail. The flowers of Omuro Sakura are white and large in shape. The light and shadow make people forget me. I just want to capture the most beautiful moment. When I walk to the back, there is a small mound. Standing on it, I can take a picture of the Omuro Sakura and the five-storied pagoda. It is a declaration of the arrival of spring.
