Kyoto's must-visit cherry blossom spot, Ninna-ji Temple, located in Ukyo Ward and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a place of historical and cultural significance. In addition to its iconic attractions such as the National Treasure Golden Hall, the Peacock King painting on silk, the Nio Gate, and the Five-Story Pagoda, the highlight during spring is undoubtedly the "Omuro Sakura" cherry blossoms. Ninna-ji Temple, often referred to as "Omuro Imperial Palace" due to its history of housing retired emperors and their children who became monks, lends its name to the famous "Omuro Sakura." The Omuro Sakura at Ninna-ji Temple is renowned for three unique features: 1. The latest blooming cherry blossoms in Kyoto 2. The most accessible cherry blossoms, close to eye level 3. Exceptionally dense cherry blossom trees The temple grounds are home to approximately 550 cherry trees, with 130 of them being Omuro Sakura. Their blooming season typically falls between early to mid-April. Strolling through the sea of cherry blossoms while admiring the Omuro Sakura is an incredibly romantic experience.

Ninna-ji Temple is the head temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism, and is also known as the Omurogosho (Omuro Palace) because Emperor Uda lived there after he became a monk. The Omuro cherry blossoms at Ninna-ji Temple, which are said to be the latest to bloom in Kyoto, bloom from mid- to late April, and many people visit the temple along with the prestigious Ninna-ji Temple, where members of the imperial family served as chief priests until the Meiji period. 📌 33 Omuro Ouchi, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 616-8092 #KyotoTourism #Ninna-ji Temple #CherryBlossoms

#Kyoto #Ninnaji Ninnaji Temple also appears in Tsurezuregusa. It is located about halfway between Ryoanji Temple and Arashiyama, and both are within walking distance (about 30 minutes). The temple is divided into two parts, one that is free to visit and one that requires a fee, and I only visited the free part. I'd like to go again in the spring, as the cherry blossoms are said to be beautiful.

#cherryblossom25 Heyyy temple explorers! 👋 Just discovered Ninna-ji Temple, and why isn’t everyone talking about this place?! Tucked away in northwest Kyoto, it’s got imperial vibes, insane cherry blossoms, and ZERO crowds compared to the usual tourist spots. Here’s why you need to go: First Impressions: "Is This a Palace?!" 👑 Ninna-ji was built in 888 AD as an imperial temple—and it shows. The Gotendo Hall (former emperor’s residence) is all sleek dark wood and elegant gardens. But the real star? The Omuro Cherry Trees—a special late-blooming variety that turns the whole place pink in mid-April (when other sakura spots are done!). Hidden Gem: The Reihokan Museum (¥500) has 1,000-year-old Buddhist statues… and air conditioning. A+ for history and comfort. The "Only in Kyoto" Moment 🏮 Tried to take a artsy photo of a weeping cherry… until a monk in traditional robes walked into my shot, nodded sagely, and disappeared into a side gate. Peak aesthetic. Snack Attack! 🍡 Omuro-zakura mochi (pink cherry-blossom-infused rice cakes) sold only here! Matcha warabimochi from a tiny stall near the temple gate—so soft it’s like eating a cloud. Pro Tip: The temple’s tea house serves actual matcha with a view of the five-story pagoda. No reservations—just zen. Secret Spots Most Tourists Miss 🔍 "The Moss Garden" → Behind the main hall, a tiny hidden garden with emerald-green moss so thick, you’ll want to pet it. (Don’t.) "The Back Gate Cherry Tunnel" → Exit via the north gate to find a quiet path where cherry branches arch overhead like a pink hallway. Chill Itinerary ⏳ 9:00 AM 🚌: Arrive via Bus #26 (stops right outside). 9:30 AM 🏯: Explore Gotendo Hall + pagoda. 10:30 AM 🌸: Omuro cherry grove + photo ops. 12:00 PM ☕: Matcha break at the tea house. 1:00 PM 🚶: Sneak away to the moss garden. Why It’s Perfect for You ✔ Late sakura = less FOMO (blooms mid-April!). ✔ Feels luxurious without the crowds. ✔ Underrated—most tourists rush to Kinkaku-ji next door and miss this! Rating: 10/10—would get spiritually photobombed again. Ever been? Tag your fave underrated Kyoto temple! 👇 #NinnaJiNinja #SakuraSecrets P.S. Wear slip-on shoes—you’ll be taking them on/off a lot! 👟

#cherryblossom25 When thinking of spring in Kyoto, most people immediately think of the famous cherry blossom spots like Kiyomizu Temple, the Kamo River, or the Philosopher’s Path. But if you're looking for a quieter, more unique experience, the Omuro Flower Festival at Ninnaji Temple should definitely be on your list. It’s one of Kyoto's under-the-radar gems that offers an authentic and charming sakura experience! 🌷✨ Where is Ninnaji Temple and How to Get There? Ninnaji Temple is located in the Ukyo Ward, close to the Arashiyama area. It’s easy to reach with the following options: By Train: Take the Keifuku Electric Railway (Randen), North Line, and get off at the Omuro Ninnaji Station. It’s just a 3-minute walk from the station to the temple. By Bus: From Kyoto Station, you can take Bus No. 26 or the JR West Bus and get off at the Omuro Ninnaji Station — very convenient. When is the Best Time to Visit the Omuro Flower Festival? 🌸🌿 The Omuro Flower Festival runs from March 22 to May 6, 2025 (Golden Week included), but the Omuro Cherry Blossom (Omuro-zakura) blooms later than the usual Somei Yoshino that you’ll see around the city. Blooming Season: Omuro-zakura blossoms about 1 to 2 weeks later than the typical cherry blossoms. Therefore, the best viewing time is from April 10 to 20, when the Omuro-zakura will be in full bloom. By then, the early sakura like the Somei Yoshino will have finished, and you’ll be able to enjoy the soft, short and rounded blooms of the Omuro cherry trees. Tip: If you’re specifically after the Omuro Sakura, try to avoid visiting too early in the season (around the end of March). The best chance to catch the blossoms is in the second week of April. 🌸💕 What Makes the Omuro Flower Festival Special? The Omuro-zakura is a low, bushy tree with rounded blossoms, making it distinct from the taller, traditional sakura varieties you’ll find in other areas. These blooms appear in clusters and are a beautiful sight at Ninnaji Temple’s garden, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere for visitors. The temple’s peaceful surroundings, historic buildings, and the soft pink blossoms make for a perfect spring escape away from the crowds. During the festival, you can also experience traditional rituals and enjoy the temple's cultural offerings, including a quiet stroll through the gardens and along the Shingon Buddhist path, with the sakura providing a breathtaking backdrop. 🌸🛤️ #travel

By mid-April, when most famous cherry blossom spots have already seen their petals fall, Ninna-ji Temple, located in the Ukyō Ward of Kyoto City, quietly welcomes the peak bloom of its Omuro Sakura. Omuro Sakura: Kyoto's Latest Blooming Cherry Blossom Omuro Sakura is known for being the latest-blooming cherry blossom in Kyoto city. With older trees and short, dense flowers, the blossoms create a stunning sight that feels like a sea of clouds spread across the ground.

Three-leaf azaleas and sasanqua camellias also bloom, adding to the symphony of spring in the temple. Walking along the temple's pathways, the sunlight filters through the flowers, casting soft patterns on the stone-paved roads, creating a perfect atmosphere. 🌿 About Ninna-ji Temple Founded: 888 AD UNESCO World Heritage Site: A part of the “Cultural Properties of Ancient Kyoto” History: Originally built as a palace for the emperor, Ninna-ji retains a strong royal aura. Temple Features: Majestic Golden Hall (Kondō), tranquil Mikage Hall, and gardens offering a view of the Five-Storied Pagoda.

I've visited Kyoto five times, twice during cherry blossom season 🌸. Let me share my vision of pink Kyoto with some reviews of cherry blossom viewing spots. My top pick is the Bekkakutei ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, where rows of cherry trees bloom and cascade onto the grass, creating a stunning pink sea. The entrance is crowded, but as you walk further in, it becomes less crowded. There's also a viewing platform nearby for a panoramic view. Daigoji Temple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is recognized as Kyoto's top cherry blossom spot, featuring tall weeping cherry trees that look like pink waterfalls from afar, offering a unique charm. Ninna-ji Temple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is known for its late-blooming Yaezakura, which blooms 1-2 weeks later than other spots. The low cherry blossoms surround the courtyard, complementing the five-story pagoda and the eaves of the Golden Hall. It's close to Ryoanji Temple, making it perfect for a day trip. Nijo Castle ⭐️⭐️⭐️ is best for viewing cherry blossoms at night, featuring the NAKED cherry blossom holographic projection light show. The cherry blossoms are average, but the light show is worth experiencing. April can be quite cold, so dress warmly at night. Besides these places, the Philosopher's Path, Nanzen-ji Temple, Arashiyama, and Fushimi Jukkoku-bune are also great cherry blossom spots. Finally, I'd love to see Kyoto through your photo albums 🌸. #KyotoCherryBlossoms #KyotoTravel #JapanCherryBlossoms
