The north area from Naka-ji Temple and Kinkakuji, is called Haradani and is an unknown cherry blossoms spot.
The Kyoto restaurant "Shozankaku MATSUYAMA" has a large courtyard built along the mountain, and the Haradani Garden, which can be described as "Jungle of a weeping cherry trees", is a place worth visiting.Enjoy lunch at the "Shozankaku MATSUYAMA" restaurant with the cherry blossoms outside the window, and after the meal we recommend you to take a walk in Haradani Garden.
