Going Hanami- Kyoto






In Japan when the Cherry Blossoms season arrives, everyone talk about the beautiful "Sakura" and it is very popular among citizen and tourist to go "Hanami" which is the Japanese word used for: Going to see the Cherry Blossoms.
Kyoto a 45 minute ride from Hirakata is a very famous place for Hanami, since it has very beautiful Sakura trees and many are lightened at night. The Sakura trees in their full bloom looked like cotton from far away, but as you approach them you can be enchanted the the impresenly gorgoues white of its blooming flowers.
Also Kyoto has many tea houses around the town which makes a unique experince for seeing Geishas wearing their full Kimono and Geisha's white make up.

Some of you may not differentiate among Asians, but once you are in Japan you leanr to distinguished Asian people, becasue depending on where they are from, their facial features vary.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed seeing some Sakura Photos!!
