2017 No.3　Gion-Shirakawa


This year, the cherry blossoms of Gion Shirakawa showed us a romantic beauty.


Clean water, beautiful Machiya (traditional japanese townhouses), glamorous cherry blossoms ... It really looks like a picture.



We had a lot of rain this spring, but the beauty of Gion is rather emphasized by the rain.



Although the light up event of this spring was canceled due to the surge of tourists, the cherry blossoms illuminated by the lights such as the restaurants are very beautiful too.


A little disappointing thing is that some foreign tourists ignore the signboards displayed "Keep out!" and are making small troubles around here and there.

However, as there are a lot of signboards that are not conspicuous, I think that trouble is inevitable.

At night, they are hard to see the letters of the signboard, so they are also hard to notice as no-entry areas.

It’s clear that new measures are necessary.
