In April, the weather everywhere in Kyoto Prefecture is calmer than it was in March, and the weather is completely spring-like; by the first half of April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, both in Kyoto City and in Miyama-cho and Maizuru City. However, it can still get cold in the mornings and evenings, so bring a jacket. In late April, it can be hot during the daytime.
