The Experience
For two fleeting weeks in late March, Japan's ancient capital turns soft pink and white. Picnic under blooming sakura in Maruyama Park as petals fall like warm snow.
You are sitting under a canopy of soft pink and white petals in Maruyama Park, Kyoto. Blossoms drift down like warm snow around you. The light is golden. The world has slowed down to this exact moment, and you are fully inside it.
