The Four Seasons of Kyoto: Four Faces of Beauty
The charm of Kyoto lies in its beautiful scenery that changes with each season. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, painting the entire city in pale pink. In summer, traditional festivals such as the Gion Festival are held on a grand scale, creating a lively atmosphere. In autumn, fiery red leaves decorate the temples, shrines and gardens, and in winter, the city is covered in a blanket of snow, creating a tranquil beauty.
