645 Heian Jingu Kyoto

Indeed it is surprising, it is not for nothing that these days, the japanese are out and picnic in the parks and public places
Moreover, there is a calendar, which specifies by region the dates of the beginning and end of flowering (it is very short : 15 days max duration)
Example this year (2008) we were first in Tokyo mid-April, the flowering was just beginning (a few trees opened up) we continued our journey and arrived at Kyoto (around 20 April), flowering was in full swing
Attention side temperature it is 'cool' in this period.
