Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden 京都府立植物園

The Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden is my new go-to place in Kyoto!

I went there today, with the intention of taking photos of the cherry blossoms, but ended up having more fun taking photos of the daisies, poppies and tulips.

It costs only 200 yen to get into the garden, and you can spend hours in there strolling in the woods, taking photographs of various kinds of flowers and plants, picnicking under the cherry blossom etc etc.



It's easily accessible by the Kyoto city subway (Kitayama station on the Karasuma line).

It was soooo relaxing, and today's weather was perfect (20-22C, sunny and warm but not too hot or humid). I guess April would be the best month; once the rainy season starts in May/June the temperature and humidity will just kill all the fun...
