Memories from Kyoto’s Shinryoku Season 🌿💚

🍃 Shinryoku (新緑), the season of new green leaves, begins after the cherry blossoms fall and lasts until the deep greens of summer, usually from mid to late April through early June, with May being the peak month.

👘 To celebrate this season and my first trip to Kyoto during this time, I rented a beautiful kimono in colors that matched the season and had an amazing photoshoot with 💚

🫶🏻 They offer the most stunning kimonos in Kyoto and know the best locations for photos in every season, allowing for a crowd-free experience. I highly recommend them if you want to create beautiful memories from your trip to Kyoto! 🥹📸

Are you planning to visit Kyoto soon? 🥰

Wisteria garden of my dreams 💜

What comes after the cherry blossom season in Japan? Maybe an even more beautiful and fragrant season: wisteria season 🥹

Perhaps I’ve developed a slight obsession with wisteria, to the point that I traveled across the country searching for them and even created a Wisteria map 📌

My interactive guide featuring all the most beautiful and interesting places I visited in Japan will be launching in 10 days! 🥳

Sakura Season in Kyoto 🌸

⛩️What makes this season in Kyoto so special?
While in Tokyo you can enjoy delicate cherry blossoms amidst a modern city setting, or in natural environments like gardens, parks, or by rivers, in Kyoto you can experience cherry blossoms in more traditional settings, alongside historic architecture in Gion or Higashiyama Districts, at shrines and temples.

Here are some of my favorite spots in Kyoto:
🌸Rokusonno-jinja Shrine 六孫王神社
🌸Yasaka Pagoda 八坂の塔
🌸Sannenzaka 産寧坂
🌸Takenaka Inari Shrine 竹中稲荷神社
🌸Fushimi Jikkokubune 伏見十石舟
🌸Keage Incline 蹴上インクライン
🌸Fushimi-Momoyama Castle 伏見桃山城
🌸Philosopher’s Path 哲学の道
🌸Chion-in Temple 知恩院
🌸Kodaiji 高台寺
🌸Heian Shrine 平安神宮
🌸Maruyama Park 丸山公園
🌸Nijo Castle 二条城
🌸Ninna-ji Temple 仁和寺

Are you visiting Japan for 🌸 this year?

Memories from 9 sakura seasons in Japan 🌸

⏳ Time flies… and what makes sakura season so special is how it reminds you just how fleeting everything is.

Often, Somei Yoshino are in full bloom for only about a week, and then they’re gone.

I tried to enjoy each season as much as I could, never knowing when it might be my last. So every year, I went to as many places as possible, trying to take it all in.

That’s also why I still have hundreds of unedited photos… 🎞️
But this is a collection of my favorite ones 🫶🏻

*2017 is missing because I was back in Romania finishing my studies.

I want to make my 10th season a very special one.

What are your memories of sakura season in Japan?

A peaceful morning in Tokyo 🌸

When my friend and I woke up at 5 AM to enjoy the beauty of this cherry blossom tree, located at the perfect spot right at the entrance of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, before the crowds arrived 🙌🏻

It truly is the most magical time to be in Tokyo ✨
