Cherry blossom time in Kyoto
In my only trip to Japan, I could not have a better timing. It was sakura time!
Sakura or cherry blossom viewing is a national obsession and no place in Japan is more renowned for the blooms than the noble city of Kyoto. And there I was in Kyoto in springtime.
I think I was a week or two ahead of the actual Sakura festival but I was not about to complain. The abundance of cherry blossoms always is a good omen of good fortune in Japan and seeing the showers and showers of pink made me feel blessed.

sad to note that the timing is a bit out otherwise it would have been great shots really, next time maybe ya.
Thanks for this post. Now I know what sakura means. ;)
I was in Kobe for a conference and there was only 1 day off for a Kyoto tour. Not bad all things considered.
thanks!
