This photo of the cherry trees over a canal from Go River was taken on Benten Bridge. The river flows through the Fushimi Ward of Kyoto, Japan.
It is a five-minute walk from the north exit of Chushojima Station on the Keihan Main Line.
It's quite easy to get there from the station. Take a right at the first crossroad, then a left at the end of the road, and you'll see the river. The bridge can be seen on the right. Stand in the middle of the bridge to be able to photograph the cherry trees on both sides of the river.
