We recommend you to visit Nara city next April
if you feel kind of frustrated with our way of enjoying the blossoms in urban areas, where you would often come across masssive crowd, noisy parties, or shoutings of the drunken.
NARA is located about 50 km south from Kyoto, and has also historic sites and scenic beauty spots, among which Mt. Yoshino has been famous for cherry blossoms for more than a century. Many nobilities depicted its beautiy in the Japanese style of poetry. The hillside is covered with wild cherry trees, different species from those planted in urban areas.
The scenery has long been called as "a sight which can catch one thousand cheery trees". Trees start blooming at the lower area early April, with the beautiful petals going up to the middle, the top, and the deeper areas as it gets warmer. You will never miss the chance to appreciate and admire them.
Following is a closer shot taken by one of our associates, who knows the right time of the right place to visit. As a matter of fact, every good spot is usually crowded in its high time.
Around the city, there were seated several capitals
in the 6th through the 8th centuries, when Japan's basis of politics and
cultures was founded by emperors and their followers. The
old city has kept maintaining its traditional heritages,
less
influenced by politics, economy, and cultures that followed the age. You also
have chances to visit scenic and historical spots such as Wakakusa-yama hill and Todai-ji temple.
