Gion Weeping Cherry Tree

 Gion Weeping Cherry Tree.

This huge cherry tree is another icon for Kyoto’s cherry blossom season. It’s lit up in the evening through the blooming season every year. 

The current tree is approximately 90 years old, which was planted here in 1949 when the previous one died at the age of 220 years old.
