Kyoto's Cherry Blossoms

A few weeks ago, the cherry blossoms were in bloom. I went to the countryside with my English language class. These flowers only last a few days before they fall. If you're coming to Japan, make sure you come at this time. Kyoto is indeed a very beautiful place.

Momiji in Kyoto

I took these photos at a Kyoto temple. Momiji means 'red leaves'. Kyoto is famous for its beautiful red leaves, and people come from all over the country, and even from abroad, to look at them.
This is a city of extremes when it comes to the weather. Very cold in winter, but really hot and humid weather in July and August. In winter, as soon as I get inside, the first thing I do is stick my hands in the toaster to defrost them.
