Why not take a stroll through the gardens filled with colorful flowers and fully experience the arrival of spring?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/202504_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5206\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/202504_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5207\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before heading out, be sure to check the latest information on official websites.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">Information of Mimuroto Temple<\/h5>\n<p>Location: 21 Shigatani, \u200b\u200bUji City, Kyoto<br \/>\nVisiting hours: 8:30-16:30 (last admission 16:00)<br \/>\n*However, this may change depending on the season and special viewing periods<br \/>\nAdmission fee: Adults 1,000 yen \/ Children 500 yen<br \/>\nAccess: About 15 minutes on foot from Mimuroto Station on the Keihan Uji Line<br \/>\nHP\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mimurotoji.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.mimurotoji.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It&#8217;s the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the fresh greenery is dazzling.
