Chill life in Shizuoka: A spring stroll under Mt. Fuji’s cherry blossoms

#cherryblossom25 On the morning of April 5th, I headed to Ryuganbuchi (龙岩渊) for a peaceful spring outing and cherry blossom viewing. I was super lucky — the visibility was perfect and I got a full, unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji! 🗻 This spot is mostly visited by local photographers and nearby residents, so it’s still a bit of a hidden gem. I absolutely loved the tranquil countryside vibe — fewer people, everything clean and quiet. Cows were basking in the sun by the river, and walking under full-bloom sakura trees felt like a dream. Pure chill. 🌸 Cherry Blossom Status: Almost in full bloom! Not sure how many days it’ll last, so go soon if you can! 🚆 How to get there: Take the JR line to Fuji Station, Then transfer to the Gakunan Railway and stop at Iriyamase Station (入山濑駅) From there, navigate to Takido Bridge, and it’s about a 10–15 minute walk to the viewing spot. Highly recommend it if you want to escape the crowds and just soak up spring in the Japanese countryside 💮☁️ #travel
