Nighttime Guide to Kodai-ji Temple: Kyoto’s Hidden Night Sakura Gem

#cherryblossom25 Kodai-ji, a Zen temple built by Nene (wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi) in his memory, is one of Kyoto’s understated yet profound night attractions. Compared to the crowds at Kiyomizu-dera, this spot offers serenity—and during sakura season, its evening illuminations are breathtakingly beautiful! 🌸 Why Visit?* ✔ Secret night sakura with fewer tourists ✔ Atmospheric illuminations reflecting on temple ponds ✔ Historic charm+ poetic ambiance
