They have posted this YouTube video of  the Imperial Palace Gardens or “Gosho” in Japanese, is one of the most famous and popular places visited by the people living in Kyoto and those coming for vacation.

The gardens are open all year round to the public, and people of all ages come to enjoy the fresh air and green nature that this place offers. During spring, you can enjoy different types of Plum and Cherry Blossoms too.

This palace was the residence of the Japanese Emperor until the year 1869. Nowadays, it is a park area used to practice sports, enjoy a pick nick or to take your dogs and play with them.

Sakura: Cherry Blossoms at Keage and Nanzen-ji Temple. Kyoto.

I follow Kyoto Fan on Facebook. They publish some exquisite photos and videos of the area regularly.

They have just posted this exquisite YouTube video of cherry blossoms.

“The Keage incline is an old cable railway that was in use until the year 1948, to transport boats in one segment of the Biwako Canal. Nowadays, it is a famous Cherry Blossoms Spot visited by hundreds of thousands of people, during the Spring Season.

This place is connected by a short trail with the Nanzen-ji Temple, which appears on the last part of the video.

From Keage you can walk both to the Nanzen-ji temple, and then continue up north to the Tetsugaku no Michi, or walk to the west along the canal and reach the Giant Torii in front of the Heian Jingu Shrine. Whatever direction you choose, both are very scenic routes and a nice walk at any time of the year.”
