Kansai has the best Sakura 🌸
#cherryblossom25
It sounds like you're a cherry blossom aficionado with a lot of experience enjoying hanami (flower viewing) in Japan! You've shared some great lesser-known spots for sakura in the Kansai area.
Here are a few more suggestions you might enjoy:
Osaka: In addition to Osaka University’s Suita campus and Expo ’70 Commemorative Park (万博纪念公园), try visiting Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park for a quieter sakura experience. It's a spacious park with less foot traffic, perfect for peaceful strolls and photography.
Kyoto: If you haven’t yet, the Daigoji Temple is another beautiful spot with a serene atmosphere, offering fantastic views of cherry blossoms without the usual crowds. The Hōkō-ji Temple in the Fushimi area also offers a more tranquil experience with sakura in full bloom.
What’s your top cherry blossom viewing memory from your time in Japan? 😊
