This is a fantastic spot to see cherry blossoms in Kyoto. The weeping cherry trees are especially gorgeous.

Chuson-ji Temple
Chuson-ji Temple, founded in 850 AD, owns over 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties and is also registered as a World Heritage site. This temple was built to transmit the powerful wish to comfort the spirits of those killed in the Tohoku War, no matter which side they were on.
The cedar-lined avenue on both sides has really fresh air. It's a very pleasant walk.

DAIGOJI Temple
In 874, Reverend Kobo Taishi’s disciple, Rigen Taishi founded this head temple of the Shingon sect. The entire 2.6 square miles of Mt. Daigo is the premise of the temple, the largest in Kyoto City.
Sitting under the cherry blossoms, enjoying a special bento, you can really feel the spirit of spring in Kyoto.

GRANSTA TOKYO
GRANSTA TOKYO is JR East’s largest train station mall. The huge open space with the sign “SQUARE ZERO” hosts select sweets shops, cafes, restaurants and general stores, which looks like a town itself.
There are plenty of souvenir shops to choose from. If you have time, it's nice to stroll around and browse.
