There are Cherry trees everywhere in Japan so there is pink snow all over the ground.

Last night I practically had to swim in a sea of cherry (or some similar tree) blossom petals when I walked home from the station. And I'm not even in Kyoto!
Which reminds me, isn't it a bit late in the season, I thought most of Japan was several weeks earlier than Paris?
