Favorite cherry blossoms venues, Shirakawa-dori, Kyoto

Shirakawa means "white river", and this small stream in Kyoto got its name because of the white sand on the bottom. However, its name becomes even more fitting during spring, because of the spectacular cherry trees flanking its banks.

Their delicate white-pink sakura blossoms are creating a wonderful and romantic atmosphere... The street is one of the most popular cherry blossoms venues and it is by far my favorite Hanami place.
