Kyoto Cherry Blossom Trip

Upon arriving at Kansai Airport, we took the Haruka train to Kyoto and stayed at the Ala Hotel Kyoto near Kyoto Station. It’s just about an 8-minute walk to the hotel, which is super convenient! After dropping off our luggage, we headed to Fushimi Jukkokubune. Unfortunately, the boat ride reservations were already fully booked, and it wasn’t possible to reserve even a month in advance. However, simply walking around the area without taking the boat still allowed us to enjoy the stunning scenery! After visiting Fushimi Jukkokubune, we went to Sewari-tei to admire the cherry blossoms. The main focus of the day was visiting these two spots for cherry blossom viewing. Haha! We were so lucky to see the blossoms in full bloom. Walking from the station to Sewari-tei took some time, but the cool weather and strong breeze made it quite pleasant. Even before reaching Sewari-tei, we could see the breathtaking view from afar—a whole row of cherry blossoms! It was so beautiful. Many people were picnicking under the cherry trees, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. I absolutely loved it here. After enjoying the cherry blossoms, we returned to Kyoto Station.
