Hello.
In Japan, today (February 11) is a three-day holiday with a holiday, but it is a cold consecutive holiday because of a strong cold wave.
In such Japan / Kansai Osaka Castle, plum blossoms telling the arrival of spring began to bloom a little!
When the plum blossoms season ends, Japan is finally the most beautiful season and spring all the year round.
Among the many cherry blossom viewing spots that are so many, I will introduce three of Kyoto’s most famous cherry-blossing spots in Kansai.
