Ichinomiya Shrine, situated in the side lanes of Kitano, has beautiful Sakura trees on both sides of the street. In spring they blossom you can admire their wonderful pink flowers for about two weeks from the end of March until early April. It's only a short 5 minute walk from Sannomiya station, so do stop by; it's really worth it.
