First full day under the sunshine and the full bloom!

Rain has gone and the sunshine led us from Nijo Station to Daigo-ji Sanpoin Temple where Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

After the lunch break we were headed to Nanzen-ji temple near the Incline Plane which was used for bringing water from Lake Biwa to the Kyoto Canal years ago.

Students has a chance to see GTS' mother on the way from Nanzen-ji temple to Heian Jingu Shrine having the largest garden in Kyoto..

While enjoying full bloomed cherry along the river, the subway took us to our final stops of Nijo Castle and Shinsenen Shrine.

We walked good 6-7 miles today rather enjoyably.
