While we were in Kyoto for the day, we found a quiet spot in Maruyama Park, away from the crowds for some O-Hanami (Cherry blossom viewing). We went to a conbini (convenience store) on our way there and bought a picnic mat and other essentials, and relaxed for a good hour under the blossoms. Sorry in advance for the sakura spam below. I have many MANY more photos of cherry blossoms but managed to limit the post to the below:

Pin it for later:
oh my... those fish pastries are my favorite!! I get them every time I see them. They make some that look like two pancakes with filling in the middle, but they're just not the same!
