Recommended cherry blossom viewing spots among the scenic spots 🌸
In the blink of an eye, it's the annual cherry blossom season again 🌸 Based on my personal experience of cherry blossom viewing over the years, I recommend 5⃣️ cherry blossom viewing spots to everyone ✨ They should be the best of the best 👍
🖼️Picture 1⃣️: Haradani-en near Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto.
This is a place that is only open during cherry blossom season every year. There are various types of cherry blossom trees planted in the garden, and when they are in full bloom during cherry blossom season, the sky here turns pink and cherry blossom petals float in the air. Sitting under a cherry blossom tree and enjoying a special cherry blossom bento box is a unique moment for the people of Kyoto to appreciate the cherry blossoms.
Transportation: Take Kyoto City Bus M1 and get off at the front of Haratani Agricultural Cooperative.
Tickets: Prices vary depending on the blooming situation, with adult tickets starting at 1200 Japanese yen and children's tickets starting at 500 Japanese yen (blooming from late March to early April 🌸).

Take the Nansha tram to Jingang Station (take the express), get off and walk for about 10 minutes, then you can arrive. Walk along the pool, there is a row of fully blooming cherry blossoms, and then you can walk to a cherry blossom tunnel, which is very suitable for taking pictures. On the way back by tram, there is a row of cherry blossoms along one side of the track, which is very beautiful‼️
Cost, free park (blooming from late March to early April 🌸)
📷3️⃣️ Purple clouds over the mountains of Seto Inland Sea.
Ziyun Mountain was selected by Yahoo as one of the top 15 cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. In January 2019, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea were ranked 7th on The New York Times' list of 52 places to go in 2019, with Ziyun Mountain as the main attraction.
The most attractive charm of Ziyun Mountain is the beautiful backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea with its many islands, combined with flowers blooming in different seasons, such as the pink cherry blossoms that cover the mountains in spring, the daffodils on the slopes, and the huge hydrangeas in summer. Although it is not the season for flowers in autumn and winter, the clear air and the unique beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, which is as calm as an ink painting, and the small islands dotted on the sea surface, bring travelers a different charming experience‼️
📷4️⃣️ Takarazuka's cherry blossom viewing spot, Shuraku-en
This time, we will introduce the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" on the Takarazuka cherry blossom viewing walking route.
This is a walking route from the Minami-Bunka station in Takarazuka, located in a quiet residential area called Jorakuso, where there are few people even during the cherry blossom season. 👌
On both sides of the road are cherry blossom trees, and during the season of cherry blossom blooming, it's like a cherry blossom tunnel! Get off at Hankyu Dentetsu Imazu Line Takarazuka Minami-guchi Station and walk for about 12 minutes ‼️
📷5⃣️The ruins of Fujiwara Palace in Nara
The only place in the Kansai region where you can enjoy both rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms at the same time 🌸 is located in Kashihara City, Nara. It is divided into different areas, each planting plants that bloom according to the season, such as rapeseed flowers in spring, lotus flowers in summer, and chrysanthemums in autumn...etc. The most recommended view is the combination of rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms‼️
Transportation: About a 30-minute walk from JR "Ubobo" station.
I went Kinkaku-ji from Osaka using public transportation and it was quite a long journey.. it’s worth going if you got enough time to travel. overall in my experience it was wonderful, the nature around the temple was beautiful, I would definitely go again :)
The Kinkakuji or Golden Pavillon is remarkably beautiful in simplicity. The Pavillon and its garden are a masterpiece of Beauty and Serenity. On sunny days, he Pavillon shines and reflects itself in its surrounding pond, for the pleasure of your contemplation and the whole scenery makes you usher a "whoa" of admiration.
Must see when in Kyoto. Try and go during a sunny day in order to capture the reflection off the water as well as the brightness of the gold. Not a stroller friendly site as the ground is all pebble and there are stairs to navigate upon exiting. Entirely a “one-way” walking route so make sure you take all the pictures u can at specific areas before moving forward. Very crowded with a lot of tourists but u can still manage to capture lasting memories as long as you’re patient. Plenty of souvenirs & soft serve ice cream places in and around the temple.
Kaedo Temple (ろくおんじ), is a temple of the Linji Zongsanguo Temple in the North District of Kyoto City, Japan. Among them, the three-story pavilion (Sheli Temple) with Jinyu inside and outside is also known as the Golden Pavilion, and the temple as a whole, including the Sheli Temple, is also known as the Golden Pavilion (きんかくじ). The temple is the temple of the mountain outside the tower head temple.
Most people are just taking photos and hearing the explanations of the tourist guides who may have stories not necessary true. So do your homework forehand. Beautiful garden. Please study the history of this gardens before attending, you will have a better understanding of the purpose of the garden, the Kinkakuji, and other constructions.
