●Name Keage Incline ●Access 339 Higashikomonoza-cho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points A famous tourist spot in the Higashiyama area Especially in spring, the contrast between the cherry blossoms and the tracks is wonderful It is popular as one of Kyoto's famous cherry blossom viewing spots, but... People, people, people...lol I would like to say that they are people strolling along the restored tracks, but everyone is busy taking photos 😅 If you go down along the tracks, you will find the Lake Biwa Canal Memorial Museum, where you can learn about the history of the canal Somei-yoshino and Yamazakura cherry trees are planted along the tracks, and it is said that there are about 90 cherry trees Not only for the spring cherry blossoms, but it is also a must-see Kyoto tourist spot #Kyoto sightseeing

\\Tourist Spots// The Lake Biwa Canal has been recognized as a Japanese Heritage Site. The Keage Incline was an inclined railway that was part of the shipping route of the Lake Biwa Canal. Now it is a popular tourist spot that attracts many people from all over the country. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom on both sides of the incline, creating a spectacular view. This time I visited to see the autumn leaves, but the incline in autumn was also very beautiful.

#cherryblossom25 If you’ve ever dreamed of walking through a real-life Studio Ghibli scene, Kyoto’s Keage Incline delivers—a disused railway track drowning in cherry blossoms, with old train tracks peeking out beneath petals. It’s that iconic shot you’ve seen all over Instagram, but trust me—it’s better in person. First Impressions? Stepping onto the mossy tracks under a tunnel of pink sakura, I half-expected a catbus to come chugging by. The air smelled like sweet blossoms and damp earth, and the crunch of gravel underfoot mixed with the distant ding-ding of bike bells. Absolute ✨magic✨. The Unexpected Moment I tried to take a ~serious~ artsy photo… until a group of Japanese grandmas in matching cherry-blossom hats photobombed me with peace signs. 10/10, would be upstaged again. 😂 Hidden Gem Most people stop at the main incline, but if you walk toward Nanzen-ji, you’ll find a quieter stretch with zero crowds—perfect for pretending you’re the last person on earth (in a poetic way). 🍡 Must-Try Food Grab a sakura anpan (sweet bun with cherry blossom paste) from a bakery near Keage Station—eat it while sitting on the tracks like a rebel (just don’t block the cyclists!). ⏳ Quick Itinerary 8:00 AM: Arrive early to beat the crowds (and photographers). 8:30 AM: Walk the entire 582-meter track, stopping for all the photos. 10:00 AM: Explore Nanzen-ji’s aqueduct (that Roman-looking brick archway!). 12:00 PM: Lunch at a nearby udon spot (slurp like you mean it). Pro Tip Visit early April for full blooms. Wear sturdy shoes—those tracks are not heels-friendly. If you’re lucky, catch the Sagano Romantic Train passing nearby! Keage Incline is where Kyoto’s past and present collide—abandoned yet alive, quiet yet bursting with color. Go. Now. #TrackStar #SakuraTunnel #GhibliIRL Who else got photobombed by a cheerful obaa-san? Share your Keage pics below! 👇📸

#cherryblossom25 By 11 AM on April 9th, the cherry blossoms at Keage Incline had already started to blizzard 🌸❄️ — petals were falling heavily in the wind. It felt like the blossoms had already begun to fade a little. There were huge crowds! 😵 Compared to other spots, it’s definitely beautiful, but honestly very hard to get good photos because of the people. If you want clear shots 📸, you really need to get there early — unlike me, who couldn’t drag myself out of bed 😂. Also, there's a yudofu (tofu hot pot) restaurant nearby called Shōzen (順正). It has a beautiful traditional Japanese garden 🌿🏯, perfect for enjoying a meal and taking photos after your walk! 📷✨ #travel

#cherryblossom25 The cherry blossom season in Kyoto is just around the corner, and as a Kansai resident who has visited Kyoto seven times, I know quite a few great spots for cherry blossom viewing. I’m sharing them here, and you’re welcome to check out the same photo spots! Backwaki: This is my top cherry blossom spot in Kyoto! The cherry trees line the road for miles, and when they’re in full bloom, the petals fall like rain. There’s also a viewing platform where you can climb to get a bird’s eye view of the entire path. Take the Keihan train to Ishiyama-dera Shrine, and from there it’s a short walk. You’ll need an entrance ticket. It gets crowded, but the farther in you go, the fewer people there are. Don’t forget to find the P4 tree, which has the most beautiful blossoms. Maruyama Park (円山公園): This famous cherry blossom spot is next to Yasaka Shrine, and after visiting, you can continue through the shrine to reach the cherry blossoms by the Kamo River. Keage Incline (蹴上): A popular photo spot for cherry blossoms along the railway. It gets pretty crowded, so it might be hard to capture the iconic shots you’ve seen online, but the trees on both sides of the railway are still really beautiful. Keep walking towards the Biwako Canal Memorial Hall for large areas of cherry blossoms to photograph. Nanzenji Temple: A famous ancient temple in Kyoto, located near the Keage Incline. You can visit both the temple and the cherry blossoms nearby for a unique experience. Nijo Castle: A great spot for viewing night cherry blossoms. At night, the lights illuminate the massive cherry trees, which looks amazing in person, though the photos might not capture it as well. Entrance tickets are required. #travel

Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto Cafe is a special cafe that combines tradition and modernity, renovated from a Kyoto townhouse that is over 100 years old.

You can experience a course that combines three rare single-origin coffees and two sweets in a private space! I would like to participate next time I come ✨ 🕰 Business hours and access Address: 64 Nanzenji Kusakawa-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 606-8437 Business hours: 9:00-18:00 (open all year round) Number of seats: 44 seats, Wi-Fi available Access: About 5 minutes walk from Keage Station on the Tozai Subway Line  Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto Cafe is the perfect spot to stop by in between sightseeing in Kyoto.

📍Heian Shrine → Keage Incline → Philosopher's Path! I like walking, so I originally planned to go to the Philosopher's Path, but I ended up going to Keage Incline first! When I looked at the map, all the spots were closer than I thought (30 minutes by my standard walking time), so I walked around without taking a single bus. 🚀 Recommended sightseeing course Start at **Gion Shijo** and visit Heian Shrine: See the red torii gate and garden. Move to **Keage Incline**: A photo spot with a train and river in the background, especially beautiful during cherry blossom season. **Philosopher's Path**: Walk along a quiet walking path and take a break at Ginkaku-ji Temple or Yojiya Cafe. ⚠️ Notes - This course requires stamina to walk more than 20,000 steps a day, and you can also consider taking a boat on the Kamo River. It's easier to get around by taking the bus (No. 5 or No. 100). Make sure to go this way! Every path is so pretty and beautiful that I can't stop looking at it. It's healing itself! However, this course is only useful for cherry blossoms. I don't know about other times because I don't have experience. If you walk as I said, there are many beautiful places to take pictures. Highly recommended! I really saw cherry blossoms that day. I think there are a lot more cherry blossoms to the northeast! You can also take a boat on the Kamo River from Heian Shrine to Keage Incline, and the cherry blossoms on both sides of the river, along with the art museum and zoo, are so beautiful that it's worth taking a ride. If you take the course I told you, you will enter the Philosopher's Path from the opposite entrance, not the Ginkaku-ji Temple side. There is coffee before you enter, and there is a coffee shop where you can sit and it's cheap! The cafes around the Philosopher's Path on the Ginkaku-ji side are expensive and the service is not great, and there are conditions for sitting on the terrace. Coffee + food per person Rather, have coffee on the opposite side before you go. It was quiet, the atmosphere was good, and the staff was friendly. 💖 #JapanTravel #KyotoPlacesToVisit #KyotoTravel #KeageInKlein #KyotoCherryBlossomTravel #CherryBlossom2025 #CherryBlossomSpots #KyotoHotPlaces

Kyoto, ephemeral and beautiful, only during this season. The cherry blossom trees lining Takase River create a magical world as their petals reflect on the water's surface, while at Keage Incline, cherry blossoms bloom gracefully over the unused railway tracks, gently embracing the passage of time. Along the Kamo River, a nostalgic and serene everyday scenery unfolds. In Kyoto during this season, simply being there fills your heart with a sense of fulfillment. No matter how many times you visit, you’ll encounter a different "spring miracle" every year in this city.

The Keage Incline is a historic trail, and the cherry blossoms along the way make the journey particularly beautiful. Walking on this old railway, the cherry blossoms on both sides bloom like clouds, accompanied by the spring breeze, making people feel happy.

I went to see cherry blossoms at Keage Incline in Kyoto. I went last year and it was so beautiful, so I went again. This time it was a little cloudy, but still beautiful!!

During cherry blossom season, Japan is crowded, so it's best to visit during off-peak times or early in the morning. Flexibility in timing is crucial for capturing shots without people in the frame. ‼️ Additionally, we encountered many beautiful scenes while driving, which required stopping to capture fleeting light🌤️ or gaps in the crowd. ‼️ We were pleasantly surprised when our local driver took us to hidden paths and secret spots🗺️, not only transporting us but also guiding us on angles and poses. After traveling to 30 countries, I can say that our Asian friends have the best photography skills! #SpringIsForCherryBlossoms #JapanTravel #KansaiTravel #Osaka #Kyoto #CherryBlossoms #JapanCherryBlossomViewing #TravelGuide

I wanted to walk around Kyoto in a kimono!! So I rented a kimono from a kimono rental shop (I also had my kimono put on and my hair done), and went to Nanzenji Temple and Keage Incline😉 When I searched for rental shops, there were a lot of them, so I researched and compared various shops based on price, whether they offered hair styling, what types of kimonos they had, and their locations, and then decided and booked💡 I thought it was one of the most famous views in Kyoto, so I went to Nanzenji Temple and the nearby Keage Incline✨ I took pictures with my friend when the number of people had decreased📸 The sixth photo is an alley we passed by🤭 If you're going to Kyoto, I recommend renting a kimono and walking around the city, as it creates a great atmosphere😌💕 #domestictraveltrip #kyoto #kyototrip #kyotosightseeing #nanzenji #nanzenjisuirokaku #keageincline #kimonorental #kyotowalkinginkyotoinakimono #kyoto #kyototrip #kyototravel

In spring in Kyoto, cherry blossoms arrive as scheduled, attracting countless tourists to enjoy this spectacular natural scenery. This time, we chose the famous Keage Incline Railway as the starting point for cherry blossom viewing. This approximately 582-meter-long abandoned railway turns into a dreamy pink tunnel under the spring sunshine, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale world. We arrived early at 8 o'clock in the morning to avoid the peak of the crowd. When I set foot on the ancient railway, the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms on both sides were in full bloom, with petals falling like rain. Every moment I took photos made me feel extremely happy. The sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadow, adding a somewhat mysterious color to this sea of ​​cherry blossoms. Here, I saw a newlywed couple taking unforgettable wedding photography under the cherry blossom tree, with every smile as bright as a petal. Following the sound of gurgling water, we walked along the Keage Incline Railway and came to **Nanzenji Temple**. The antique flavor here contrasts well with the cherry blossoms, making people stop and admire it. The scenery inside Nanzenji Temple is even more stunning. The ancient buildings look particularly elegant against the backdrop of cherry blossoms. Sitting on the stone bench in the temple, I closed my eyes, feeling the breeze blowing across my face, and the clear chirping of birds in my ears. It was as if time had stopped and I was immersed in this tranquility. Then, we came to **Heian Shrine**, where the cherry blossom trees were even more colorful, as if we were in a painting. We walked on the promenade of the shrine, feeling the warm sunshine of spring, and tasting local wagashi. The sweet taste seemed to blend with the fragrance of cherry blossoms, making people feel happy. Tired from walking, we took a break at a nearby cafe and enjoyed fragrant coffee. The cherry blossoms outside the window sway in the breeze, as if smiling at us, making people feel the vitality of spring. Then, we continued walking along the **Philosophical Path**. This path was lined with cherry blossoms. Walking along it, it seemed that time had slowed down and our souls had been cleansed. I can't help but think of the philosophers thinking about life here. Every cherry blossom here seems to be telling the story of life. During the entire cherry blossom viewing trip, whether it was the natural beauty or the cultural heritage, I deeply felt the charm of Kyoto. Kyoto during the cherry blossom season is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual journey. Every cherry blossom tells a story of spring, and we become part of this story. This kind of spring trip is really unforgettable, and my love for Kyoto becomes even deeper in my heart. If I have the chance, I will definitely come again to relive this cherry blossom dream. #2024Travel review #Kyoto #Keage Incline Railway

It's one of my favorite areas in Kyoto. After passing through the Sanmon gate of Nanzen-ji Temple and going further back, there's a wonderful space... I love the atmosphere that feels like I've slipped back in time. The autumn leaves are beautiful in the fall, but the fresh green leaves at the end of spring are also gorgeous! It's recommended to visit in the morning when there are fewer people! When it's crowded, it's hard to take good photos 🤳 Visiting the Keage Incline together with this place is recommended. It's really a wonderful space that makes you want to zone out... By all means, please go when you visit the Kyoto Higashiyama area.

The cherry blossom season was almost over, but there were still a few cherry blossoms left at Keage Incline🌸 Keage Incline is located near Nanzenji Temple and is the remains of the world's longest inclined railway, with a total length of 582m. It is the remains of an inclined railway that was laid to operate ships on the steep slope of the Lake Biwa Canal, with an elevation difference of about 36 meters. The abandoned railway line has been designated as a cultural property of Kyoto City. Somei-yoshino and Yamazakura cherry trees were planted along the tracks🌸 A popular cherry blossom spot in Kyoto. Many people came. I hope to go next year when it is in full bloom. #Sakura2024 #MomentsStarted #KeageIncline #Kyoto #KyotoTourism #KyotoTrip
