After the cherry blossom spots in Kyoto become less crowded, attention turns to the quiet and graceful flowers. One of them is the tree known as 'Nanjamonja' or 'Hitotsu Batago'. This mysteriously named flower grows in a small park in Shizuhara-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto.
When the Hitotsu Batago basks in the warm spring sunlight, you can see its long, white petals swaying and gently falling to the ground. It's as if the petals are dancing on the wind, like feathers. Visitors are sure to pause and admire the carpet of white petals covering the ground.
This tree was planted in 1991. Since then, for over 30 years, it has become a familiar sight for the people of Shizuhara. This tree, quietly observing the changing seasons, can be seen as a symbol of respect for Kyoto's traditional culture.
After enjoying cherry blossom viewing at famous spots, why not visit this 'Nanjamonja' tree? In the gentle spring sunlight, the swaying white petals will surely lighten your heart. Spring in Kyoto is not yet over. Why not encounter this mysteriously named flower and savor the lingering essence of spring.
