spring
Elegance and simplicity define this watch, but you may have to fight to get your hands on it.
Temperatures dipped dramatically this week, transforming sakura spots into icy pink-tinged dreamworlds.
One of the city’s best art museums just got better with a special springtime sakura upgrade.
It seems putting on rose-tinted spectacles not only makes you feel nostalgic, it also makes the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms even better.
There’s nothing better than eating pink sakura treats while gazing up at their beautiful blossoms.
Hanami flower-viewing season begins nine days earlier than average as the city’s official “sample tree” sprouts its first blossoms.
Colorful spring creations from Kyoto green tea confectioner are not only sweet to taste but a delight to behold!
Sakura sweets lineup also includes mouth-watering cherry blossom cake with two sakura-sourced ingredients.
