I went to see cherry blossoms at the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Kyoto was the capital of Japan for nearly 1,100 years until 794.

The capital was moved from Nara, the former first permanent capital of Japan.

Then Kyoto capital continued until capital moved to Tokyo in 1868.


Luckily, it was not bombed during World War II.
