Another photo I took of the Kamogawa river area with Sakura here. This was a really nice afternoon walk with good weather and great atmosphere on the river bank.

What it is: Kyoto's main river. Cherry trees line both banks through the city, and the paths are popular for walks.
Getting there: Gion-Shijo (Keihan) and Kyoto-kawaramachi (Hankyu) stations are a short walk from the river. Demachiyanagi (Keihan) is near a quieter stretch.
Best time: Full bloom is usually in early April and lasts only about a week, so check the forecast.
Tip: Further north, the Nakaragi-no-michi path runs about 800 m along the river between Kitaoji and Kitayama bridges. About 70 weeping cherries there flower a little later. It is about 2 minutes from Kitaoji or Kitayama stations on the Karasuma subway line.

Best time
