Heian Shrine was built in the year 1895 to commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of the founding of Kyoto. Having about 150 Beni Shidare Zakura (wheeping cherry trees), the gardens are one of the best places in Kyoto to view cherry blossoms each spring. Heian Shrine is located in the north-eastern part of Kyoto and is a must-see location during sakura season.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, founded in the year 1180 is one of Kamakuras most impressive sites. With it's massive Ginko tree, greater than 1,000 years old and and more than 300 cherry trees, each season offers its own wonders. The view from the top of the 61 steps that lead up to the main hall is especially impressive in the spring when the sakura are in bloom.
