It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.
🌿SUMMER REFLECTIONS🪞☺️

For a very brief moment each year Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室), an old villa close to Ninna-ji, is open to the public.
It is famed for a table!🤔🪞🌿
It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.
Reaching their peak (typically) around mid-April, the temple's groves of cherry trees are the last to bloom within the city.
Known as 'Omuro-zakura' (御室桜), Ninna-ji's trees are uniquely stunted, growing to only around 2m tall. They are a variant of 'sato-zakura' (郷さくら).
🌸KYŌTO'S LAST CHERRY BLOSSOMS🌸
drowsy spring
begins with
Omuro’s flowers
ねぶたさの春は御室の花よりぞ
-Yosa Buson (与謝蕪村 1716-84).
Ninna-ji's (仁和寺) grove of cherry trees are some of the last to bloom in the city, bringing sakura season to a dramatic close.
💚🌸💚NOT ALL PINK💛🌸💛
At this pinkest time of year, let us not forget our green brethren...💚🌸💚
Cherry blossoms are known for their delicate white and pink petals, but there are a handful of sakura trees that show off surprisingly different colours.
Ninna-ji (仁和寺) and Hirano-jinja (平野神社) are good places to catch these unusual varieties of sakura.
