Spring is just a month away in Japan, and with it one of the most anticipated events of the year: the cherry blossom season. The popular cherry blossoms are one of the favorite events of the year for both Japanese and foreigners. The entire country is covered in shades of white and pink. An ephemeral beauty that lasts only a few weeks before disappearing again until next year.
There are different places where you can enjoy the beauty of sakura or cherry blossoms, but one of everyone’s favorites is Kyoto. Japan’s ancient capital, Kyoto is one of the most popular tourist cities in the country, just after Tokyo. And in 2024 there are new attractions waiting!
One of Kyoto’s main attractions is its rich historical heritage, with numerous temples and shrines dating back many years. Although forgotten in many city guides, one of my favorite sites in the city is undoubtedly Nijo Castle. Built in 1603 as the Kyoto residence for the first shogun of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Nijo Castle offers something different from temples and shrines and has a pretty and photogenic garden. Specially in Spring is one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto, with 300 wild and cultivated Japanese cherry trees of 50 varieties
In Spring 2024 you can enjoy a new and unique experience, NAKED FLOWERS 2024 Cherry Blossoms at Nijo Castle, a World Heritage Site in Kyoto will be held from Friday, March 8 to Sunday, April 7, 2024.

From Barcelona to Tokyo. Coffee & Adventure lover🌏☕️
I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
