Shidarezakura

Daigohigashiojicho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan view map

A friend recommended to us to go Daigohigashiojicho in Fushimi-ku to view the Sakura there. We thought that the Sakura there would peak a little later than in Nagaokakyo given it's a little bit higher altitude there. However when we got there the Somei-Yoshino while still in bloom already had a lot of leaves coming out on them, however the Shidarezakura (or Weeping Cherry Tree) was at it's peak and I managed to catch the last rays of Sunlight falling on them. Well this is the last of my Sakura images for the “Mission Japan” PBLOG for this year (but I got heaps of images that I may post to other galleries in the near future). The weather begins to warm up and the Sakura have gone, but my friends tell me there are plenty of more floral delights awaiting in the months to come...
