I live like a 5 minute walk away from cafe Sarasa and haven't been able to visit yet so I really need to visit soon 😍 Need to catch the sakura at Hirano shrine too!
Thanks to this video, me and my friend found out and went to the Hirano Shrine at night. We got the Sakura beer and showed them they were on RUclips now. They remembered Seera-san! Very fun people and pretty Sakura.
This is an amazing timed video, my family arrived in Kyoto from Melbourne on Friday! Thanks so much for all the great recommendations, your videos have been a great source of information and inspiration for our holiday! 🙏🌸
I just got to Kyoto a couple of days ago. I’ve appreciated Sakura at Imperial Palace and those throughout the city but the Hirano Shrine atmosphere looks incredible. Hopefully I can go during these upcoming days.
The park with the mustard flowers and cherry blossoms reminds me of my hometown in California. Picnicking there with the food trucks would be fun, it looks so chill.
I'd like to visit Gion and its vicinity just for the chance to encounter and admire maiko and geisha. But there are so many nice places in Kyoto. Your shot at 17:21 is just so beautiful. Thank you.
Hi Seera/Sarah Thank you to upload such a nice blooming information. I never imagine such a beautiful place in Kyoto. Tokyo has a so many cherry view places, though all place are so crowdy. Also, your tour called friendly people. That make me really enjoy to watch your video. Send my cheer. Please keep guiding Kyoto.
During the years I lived in Japan I always went to Kyoto during Sakura season. But, in my opinion, even better than Kyoto is Hikone-shi, just a 50 minute train ride northeast on the Biwako line. They have an original castle with 2 moats and INCREDIBLE Sakura along the moats and stone walls. With black and white swans in the moats. MUCH less crowded than the kyoto spots and they bloom a week or two after Kyoto's so visiting is a great way to prolong the season. Go behind the castle, between the moat and Jr high school for a very quiet experience. They also do a light up at night and when the air is still the Sakura reflects in the moat.
28:20 cant stop laughing when You pulled out the original Mohnbrötchen and a Bretzel, sitting down to enjoy the cherry blossoms at a remote spot in Kyoto :D This was a nice video, I really enjoyed watching. My journey to Japan 2024 starts soon, but it takes me to the north. If I return to Kyoto one day I may visit the more quiet places. Thank You for sharing!
なつかしい！ Seeing all these places stirs good memories. I was lucky enough to live in Kyoto for three years, not too far from Maruyama Koen and experience Hanami there. Still miss it after all this time.
When I was a kid, my parents took me to Zouheikyoku (造幣局) in Osaka. One of the most magnificent spots for Hanami for sure. There is another spot you can try... it's between Osaka and Nara off of Route 163, called Iimorireien (飯盛霊園). It's a cemetery, but they have many sakura for good hanami spots.
Great videos of Sakura areas around Kyoto! We left Osaka March 29th. We visited Kyoto on the 27th. All the tourist areas were simply overcrowded! We bought an all day bus pass. Road the bus 2 times only, took a taxis back to the train station. Took way too long. Had a great time there.
It seems I was there a few days before you, otherwise I would’ve loved to have taken up your suggestions. We visited the Torji temple at night and it was beautiful but also a little crowded! 🌸
There is a quiet respectful confidence in the way you share public places with us. Given the news of entitled influencers in Japan, I want to thank you for being a shining example of what respectful behavior looks like in Japan as a content creator. Keep shining, Sarah❤
Whenever I think about wanting to visit Japan, it's during the Sakura season I really would like to visit. But as someone who REALLY isn't a fan of crowds, I've always been worried that an already crowded Japan seems to get even worse during this time of the year so it's great to see that even if some of the places you visited was obviously crowded there was also some quieter places to enjoy the Sakura.
It's worth noting that crowds in Japan are different than crowds in other places in my experience. I'm not a fan of crowds but people are so polite there it's really not stressful like, say, crowded places in America are✌️
I've been to several of these locations. Very nostalgic for me. I'm surprised you didn't cover Kiyomizu-dera on this trip. It's good for both daytime and nighttime blossom viewing, but their light-up at night is really beautiful. They also do a light-up for maple leaves in the autumn. It is pretty crowded, though. The places you went seemed to have a reasonably comfortable crowd level. I love that weeping cherry tree at Maruyama Park. I've been there several times, both during and outside of cherry blossom season. If I understand correctly, even though the Emperor now resides in Tokyo, the Imperial Palace in Kyoto is still one of the Imperial residences and is ready to receive him whenever he wishes to visit Kyoto. My wife and I got married during cherry blossom season in a Shinto ceremony at Nashinoki-Jinja, just off the Imperial Palace grounds. It's a beautiful little rustic Shinto shrine. It was early April and the cherry trees were in peak bloom. We couldn't have asked for better conditions! I hope you come back to Kyoto for the Obon festival with the burning Daimonji on the mountainside. It's so beautiful! The music selections for today's video were so good! I'd love to know what it was.
Thanks for visiting Hirano Shrine. I stumbled upon the shrine when I grabbed a taxi from Tenryuji to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. I asked the driver for recommendations for hanami and he pointed to the shrine's entrance as we passed by. There wasn't a fee then (2019?) and the place was packed. There were picnic tables and restaurants (no food trucks) set up in the back. It was way more crazy and had a fun vibe. It wasn't as crowded as Maruyama Park though.
I love Kyoto. I stay away from the crowded tourist areas , don't get me wrong those areas are great just too crowded unless you go early before everything is open or in the late evening after everything is closed or closing
I had planned to go to Japan autumn 2025, but now it looks like it will be SPRING = SAKURA season after all. Yay, playing close attention to your videos, and collecting lots of ideas. Thanks.

Seera, this is honestly, the best Cherry Blossom 🌸 🌸 video I have ever seen. Your cameraman has taken some of the most beautiful, and aesthetic photos, of Japan on RUclips. I almost watched most of this video frame by frame. Each one is worthy of a postcard in its own right. Well done you two!!!!! Thank you, cheers, Muffy from Oz.
I filmed everything myself in this video 😗 Shah, the cameraman I mentioned, works for Tokyo Creative & the video on that channel with his shots will come out later this year!
@@seerasan lol I was confused for a sec too. I was thinking wait.. she isn't filming this herself and the camera man is just making it look like she is filming herself? god damn, this camera man so good I never realized they existed before! LOL
Hi, once again, I'm relaxing to your video content while unboxing and testing my new small kitchen appliances (toaster and a waffle maker). Thank you so much for this trip video.
@seerasan Believe it or not, I hope to learn how to make waffles. It shouldn't be difficult, I'm thrilled to have purchased the waffle maker yesterday. Thank you for your kindness responses.
Yes they should all be available! All of this was filmed in the past week, so should all still be blooming, if not in 'fuller' bloom than when I was filming! 🌸
You are getting really good at this Seera... something I notice was some locals pushing you a bit, I hope the bad tourists are not affecting you and your job. Greetings from Costa Rica.
I suggest you call somei-yoshino(染井吉野) cherry in stead of yoshino cherry tree. The name of YoshIno(吉野) has nothing to do with Mt Yoshino(吉野山) of Nara Pref. , where cherry blossoms so famous throughout the mountain. Therefore, the naming of Yoshino cherry would be confused with the cherry blossoms in Mt Yoshino. Somei-yoshino is a hybrid of Edohigan(江戸彼岸) cherry and Oshima-sakura(大島桜) cherry, cross-bred in Edo period. Thereafter, they are planted all over Japan and now become the most popular bred.
I'm devvo, we missed the Sakura blooms by like a week! We got Sapporo the day Tokyo bloomed, and small part of me was like... Seera-san did that trip in what, 8 hours? ... Maybe worth?
the Season of Cherry Blossom is the Time of Dreams , " the fall of the Cherry Blossom petal , is as the fall of the tear of the Dreamcatcher " catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish
One tip I have is don't rent a kimono. Tons of places have popped up with vintage kimono for sale. From what I've seen you could buy one for about the same price or possibly less that renting one. And you will have a really cool souvenir.
I do agree about grabbing a vintage one as a souvenir! The only thing is it's hard to properly dress yourself in a kimono without someone helping you (at least I can't do it yet! ahha)
@@seerasan That's a good point. I've heard they're notoriously difficult to put on. One shop I went in had qr codes linking to videos on how to put them on. So if you're feeling adventurous and have a friend you might be able to manage.
I have 6 dogs and 10 cats. I wonder if I could more than one pet charm if I stopped there and told them. I also work at Petsmart and we support adoption events.
Nice, chill blog after all the excitement of Chris and Connors Cyclathon. Also, it's so nice to see that the philosopher's path hasn't changed that much in 10 years (apart from being so crowded!). Loved Sakura season? Miss it so much!
Just found this channel and subbed. I used to live in Kyoto in the early 90s. I walked through the Gosho every day to work, looking up at Daimonji. So lovely to see it again. And I am glad to see the cherry blossom tree is still standing in Maruyama Park. It was in danger of falling over back then. One of my favourite places to go was Honen-in Temple along the Philosopher's Path. This was pre-Internet, so I would just take along a book and sit and read; sometimes climbing the hills behind. I am living in Tokyo now (Hachioji) but my heart will always be in Kyoto. BTW, I just uploaded a video of my sakura photos on my channel. (ruclips.net/video/Usau28PshQM/видео.html) The RUclips algorithm decided that your video was in a similar vein to mine and placed it in my recommended. That is how I found your channel. 😊
5:12 I saw the same tree in 2007. Apparently it has been there since 1949 and the original one was there for about 200 years. For some reason I thought it was over 500 years old.
My favourite time of year!!! In my favourite city in Japan!!! 🌸Which spot would you like to visit the most?
@@gaz.7770 Her farts smell like cherry blossoms!
all of kyoto 😂
I live like a 5 minute walk away from cafe Sarasa and haven't been able to visit yet so I really need to visit soon 😍 Need to catch the sakura at Hirano shrine too!
All the moments with people in the background smiling, waving and doing other stuff cracks me up 😀
I only really notice it while editing 😂 (probably better that way haha)
@@seerasan You would be famous now or at least people more familar with content people
That guy was vibing! I loved his lean back to continue dancing on camera when the other guy blocked him out lol
Thanks to this video, me and my friend found out and went to the Hirano Shrine at night. We got the Sakura beer and showed them they were on RUclips now. They remembered Seera-san! Very fun people and pretty Sakura.
Oh my gosh that's so cool! Happy to hear you went & met them at the beer stand 😆🍺
Thank you for actually going out and filming, instead of being in a room talking about things.
I wanna go experience these spots for myself 🤩 🌸
Night time in Kyoto does look very special.
This was filmed in the most friend based way!
I just toured this area with my best friend…😊
Thank you.
こんにちはセーラさん､あなたのチャンネルを見るたびに日本人の忘れかけていた懐かしさや花鳥風月とか日本人に埋もれ掛けてしまった感覚が甦った気がします､ありがとう🌸
well said :)
The other Japan vloggers make me wanna visit. Sarah has a knack of making me feel like I've already been there
This is an amazing timed video, my family arrived in Kyoto from Melbourne on Friday! Thanks so much for all the great recommendations, your videos have been a great source of information and inspiration for our holiday! 🙏🌸
Enjoy your time in Kyoto!! 😊
Thanks for the beautiful Japanese cherry blossom video.😄

This is the most beautiful Sakura 🌸 video I've ever seen 😻. The night viewing was so gorgeous 🥰🌸. Thank you so much Sarah 🌸🫶
Thanks for sharing this video on Kyoto's best hanami spots! 🌸
I think I'll visit Japan next spring！Thanks for the video！🫶🇳🇱
Love your videos showcasing the beauty of Japan. Love visiting there. Would move there if I could.
beautiful and chill place thanks for tour seerasan 🎎
Thank you for another wonderful trip to Kyoto. I was there this time last year. Missing my friends and Japan right now. This helps! 😊
Take care!
I used to live in Kyoto for seven years. I love where you got around as well! It's a beautiful vibe and where you can feel leisurely slow time!!
I'll be there in 2 weeks. Hoping it is still blooming. Awesome video.
Sara your videos are always so fire!! Your editing skills are phenomenal and the footage you take just puts us right in the spot. Keep killing it!!
Looks so magical with all those sakuras, I need some tea or coffee with a view of those sakuras looks so chill
Thank you for the perfect tour! I can't wait to visit someday.
Love this video so much, I might put it on a loop and let it play all day long while I'm unboxing all the boxes from my previous address.
Thank you very much for your posting! 投稿ありがとうございます！
I'm glad that you have enjoyed Hanami （花見）🌸
I went to Gosho last Saturday with my family and got the ice cream in Sasaya Iori!
Nice!! Hope you had a good time 🌸😊

Seeing all these places stirs good memories.
I was lucky enough to live in Kyoto for three years, not too far from Maruyama Koen and experience Hanami there. Still miss it after all this time.
Thanks for mentioning me☺🌸
Very useful to find out more about this bakery. Details noted. Thanks.
Thanks for introducing the lovely German bakery to everyone! 😊🥖
Can't wait to check out these cherry blossoms next spring. Great content!

Riding the buses is always a bad idea in Kyoto, unfortunately 😢 Rental bikes are the way to go! Or taxis (and trains when you can)
Sakura is also the name of the square oil pastels I used to get but no one in Australia has them any more. I knew I should have gotten the wooden box.
It seems I was there a few days before you, otherwise I would’ve loved to have taken up your suggestions. We visited the Torji temple at night and it was beautiful but also a little crowded! 🌸
2:05 That laugh was too kawaii 😅
I've gone through the philosopher's path during momiji and it's also beautiful.
I've never been during moiji season, but nanzenji located nearby is a great autumn spot so that makes sense!
There is a quiet respectful confidence in the way you share public places with us. Given the news of entitled influencers in Japan, I want to thank you for being a shining example of what respectful behavior looks like in Japan as a content creator.

Take me with you on tour 🙏🙏🙏
It's been years since I've seen the sakura in person. I'm glad it's blossoming, and people are getting to see it. Also loving the vlogs too.
Nice, chill blog after all the excitement of Chris and Connors Cyclathon. Also, it's so nice to see that the philosopher's path hasn't changed that much in 10 years (apart from being so crowded!). Loved Sakura season? Miss it so much!
Just found this channel and subbed. I used to live in Kyoto in the early 90s. I walked through the Gosho every day to work, looking up at Daimonji. So lovely to see it again. And I am glad to see the cherry blossom tree is still standing in Maruyama Park. It was in danger of falling over back then. One of my favourite places to go was Honen-in Temple along the Philosopher's Path. This was pre-Internet, so I would just take along a book and sit and read; sometimes climbing the hills behind. I am living in Tokyo now (Hachioji) but my heart will always be in Kyoto.
BTW, I just uploaded a video of my sakura photos on my channel. (ruclips.net/video/Usau28PshQM/видео.html) The RUclips algorithm decided that your video was in a similar vein to mine and placed it in my recommended. That is how I found your channel. 😊
5:12 I saw the same tree in 2007. Apparently it has been there since 1949 and the original one was there for about 200 years. For some reason I thought it was over 500 years old.
