桜並木 梅、桃とつづいて京田辺の春を彩る桜。虚空蔵谷川畔の桜並木には、ソメイヨシノやオオシマなどがこぼれるように咲き誇り、地元愛護会によりぼんぼりや提灯でライトアップされ夜桜も楽しめる。また観音寺参道の桜は、周囲に菜の花畑を従えて、華やかさに拍車がかかる。ほかにも、市の中心部を流れる馬坂川や防賀川緑道沿いの桜並木、老人福祉センター常磐苑のそばに並ぶ桜の、池に映った姿も素晴らしい。

The followings should also be acclaimed for their beautiful figure reflected in the river: The row of cherry blossoms at Kokuzo-Tanigawa Cape, alongside of Umasakagawa River flowing through the center of the city, and the pedestrian path of Bougagawa River. The flowers of cherry blossoms at the approach of Kannonji Temple, and Tokiwa-En, a welfare facility for the aged."
