Woke up at 4:00 AM to capture the ambiance of cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan, which is the ceiling of atmosphere
Some say 'Kyoto is in Japan, but the real Japan is in Kyoto.'
There are many cherry blossoms in Japan, either in clusters or a particularly large one in a courtyard style.
And the most famous among them is the century-old cherry tree at Sanneizaka in Kyoto.
To shoot the blue hour cherry blossom scene, one must wake up early, get up at 4 AM and arrive by 5 AM.
There are hardly any people shooting, most are around Yasaka Pagoda.
The beauty is visible to the naked eye, live photos straight out.
By 6 AM, it starts to get crowded, and by 6:30, it's practically overflowing.
(Kyoto is really competitive! 😭 Many people might not even be up by 6:30!)

◽️Tips:
☑️ Ninenzaka Sannenzaka, Yasaka Tower Kiyomizu-dera, are unique street landscapes of Kyoto.
The shops along the street and the visitors wearing kimonos make you feel as if you've traveled back to the shogunate era.
☑️ The sightseeing route I recommend is along the way, and if you want to see cherry blossoms, you can also go to Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kamo River, which are both in full bloom right now.
☑️Kyoto's cherry blossom season is very crowded, so it's advised to go out early and return early for a much better experience.
Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Yasaka Shrine is not far from the hotel where you live, and you can walk. Sometimes you pass by when you go to other attractions in the morning, and pass by when you return at night. You wear a kimono that day and go to Yasaka Shrine to make a card. The different scenes of the Yasser Shrine during the day and night are appreciated. The scenery is charming and beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, and the lanterns that light up in the shrine are particularly solemn and quiet under the dusk. Different scenery, completely different feelings. The Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto is relatively large and holds a Gion sacrifice every year. The people who come to Yasaka Shrine to pray for blessings are endless and very popular. Next to the Yasaka Shrine is Yuanshan Park, you can visit together.
Yamaha Shrine is a shrine located in Toyama, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a 22-share shrine, and the old shrine is the official currency shrine (now the Shinto Shrine of the Shinto Office). It is the general shrine of about 3,000 Yasaka shrines in Japan. It is called Gion さん. The shrine's routine ritual is called the Gion Sacrifice, and the Tokyo shrine, the Osaka Tenjin Sacrifice, and the three Japanese sacrifices. Originally known as the "Gion Shrine", "Gion Shrine", "Gion Gion Sendai", "Gion Gion Tenjin", after the 4-year (1868) separation of the gods, the name changed to "Yamaki Shrine".
There's nothing much to see at the temple area, but the stalls along the temple street are quite interesting.
2013年6月9日来的。八坂神社在日本很出名,在这里举办“祇园祭”与东京的“神田祭”,大阪的“天神祭”并称为“三大祭”。所以在夏日祭的时候,这里非常热闹。即使在平时,这里也是非常热门的景点。据说八坂神社是一个有求必应的地方,来次祈求的内容也是五花八门。神社另一个看点是建筑,神社中心的舞殿是京都标志性建筑,主殿则日本重要建筑流派“祇园造”的经典之作,建议大家重点关注一下。
京都这个日本的“小长安”绝对是旅游的必去目的地之一。来到这里绝对要逛一逛日本特色的各个神社。八坂神社(やさかじんじゃ)是位于日本京都府京都市东山区的神社。为二十二社,旧社格为官币大社(现神社本厅的别表神社)。是日本全国约三千座八坂神社之总本社,爱称是祇园さん。此处可以祈福婚姻,所有能看到很多的小情侣接班来此。
