Those who are about to go to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms always hold in their hearts both anticipation and fear of being hurt. Because of the characteristics of the cherry blossoms that see and blow snow within a week, as well as the increasingly elusive weather conditions on the earth, they are concerned about the blooming of flowers before departure. The anxiety of seeing the intelligence lasted until after visiting the cherry blossom viewing site in person, and finally the emotion of waiting exploded.With good luck, what will explode is the feeling of admiration for the beauty. What if you see a bleak scene of colorful falling English and drizzle?Next, let me share the cherry blossom viewing strategies after facing the cherry blossoms blowing snow in Kyoto based on the personal experience of the people who have passed by.
Somei Yoshino Sakura's cherry blossom viewing plan after blowing snow
In early April 2012, I went to Kansai to enjoy cherry blossoms. I was fortunate to see Wakayama Castle, the banks of the Takase River, the Okazaki Canal, the path of philosophy, and the beauty of the cherry blossoms in Saga Arashiyama. There is an illusion that the cherry blossoms are blooming in their own footsteps. In April 4, I decided to take my parents to visit again. At the moment when I booked the hotel and the ticket and left my hand, I decided to visit Kyoto in early April based on the experience of the cherry blossoms in the previous year. The tragedy was doomed. The cherry blossom viewing strategy to overcome the tragedy has to be launched all the way.
- April 2013, 4: Kyoto.Somei Yoshino Sakura.The flowers are blooming.
- April 2013, 4: Kyoto.Chun Lan.Showers.The Kanku Express Haruka stopped in the evening and arrived in Kyoto at night.
- April 2013, 4: Kyoto.The way of philosophy.Rainy.Sakura blows snow.Itinerary for cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto.There are 7 days left.
The next day after arriving in Kyoto at night, with a glimmer of hope, I immediately headed to the Philosophical Way. I faced a sparse crowd and cherry blossoms. The petals were knocked down by the shower, and there was no chance to appreciate the cherry blossoms.Walking with your parents under the rainy sky and stepping on the petals on the ground, although everyone does not say anything, disappointment is always inevitable. There will be a 12-day cherry blossom viewing journey! !I hope to share the beauty of the cherry blossoms with my parents. How can I go back empty-handed? The next 12-day itinerary relies on pre-simulation and homework, coupled with battle-and-go information search and emergency response, and finally finished. A worthwhile trip and a unique cherry blossom viewing itinerary.
At that time, after finishing the philosophical way, I went back to Shirakawa and Chionen in Gion. I still saw only two or three cherry blossoms in full bloom. After accepting the fact that the cherry blossom season in Kyoto has entered the final stage, I arranged a visit to Nishiki Market in the evening. After going to Kiyomizu Temple to see night cherry blossoms, I finally decided to abandon the original Kyoto cherry blossom viewing itinerary and re-arrange a new cherry blossom viewing itinerary while walking.Next, let's share the experience of planning cherry blossom viewing at that time!
Countermeasure XNUMX: Go to a high-latitude cherry blossom viewing spot near Kyoto
People who often watch the information on the front line of cherry blossoms will definitely notice the dividing line drawn based on the latitude and terrain. If the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are not yet in full bloom, it is usually recommended to go to the Wakayama area near the sea to chase the cherry blossoms, and when the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are about to enter the cherry blossoms When the snow is blowing, it is recommended to go to the Shiga area at high latitudes or the mountainous areas with high terrain. High latitudes and high terrain usually represent lower temperatures. Naturally, there is a chance to see the cherry blossoms still blooming in full bloom.
Facing Chunlan at that time.After the showers full of cherry blossoms, I immediately changed the itinerary to Yoshino Mountain, which is full of cherry blossoms on the entire hill. From Thousands of Thousands, Nakasen, to Shisenbons, the extremely long flowering period of Yoshino Mountain will never let people go home empty-handed.After visiting Mt. Yoshino, after establishing that there is still cherry blossom viewing experience at high latitudes, I continued to arrange major trips to Lake Biwa Canal and Omi Hachiman in the Shiga area. The same wish for cherry blossom viewing was finally fulfilled, and the follow-up did not continue. Crazy chasing cherry blossoms along the northern lake of Pipa.

Countermeasure XNUMX: Go to the famous cherry blossoms that bloom late and have various varieties
The pink and pleasing Somei Yoshino Sakura is of course the number one spot for cherry blossom viewing, especially when the small Somei Yoshino Sakura is in full bloom, it will always be loved by all ages.Fortunately, it’s best to see the full bloom of Somei Yoshino. However, there are many varieties of cherry blossoms in Kyoto. If you encounter the end of Kyoto cherry blossoms, looking for famous cherry blossoms with late blooming varieties or varieties is the best record for Kyoto cherry blossom viewing itinerary. You can also enjoy the special varieties of cherry blossoms, which I believe can make up for many of the shortcomings in my heart.
At that time, after fulfilling the wish of letting parents see the cherry blossoms in Yoshino Mountain and Shiga, I finally calmed down and thought about arranging more interesting cherry blossom viewing spots. After all, my parents are no longer the age of a spring girl, and the pink Somei Yoshino may not have it. Fatal attraction.Therefore, follow-up arrangements for viewing cherry blossoms at Ninwa Temple and the Mint Bureau. Both places have very special varieties of cherry blossoms, which are even more eye-opening. They are not inferior to the pink cherry blossoms. At the end of the trip, I even went to Uji to enjoy the wisteria flowers. Who says it’s not suitable for the flower viewing itinerary!
- Suggested locations for cherry blossom viewing: Osaka Mint, Ninwa Temple, Nijo Castle
- Itinerary preparation: simple knowledge of cherry blossom varieties

Countermeasure XNUMX: Matching diversified cherry blossom viewing cultural experience activities
If you go to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms and just chase the cherry blossoms and take photos crazy, you can live up to the ingenuity of the Japanese design of cherry blossom viewing activities. I strongly recommend arranging various activities with cherry blossom viewing to make the whole cherry blossom viewing itinerary more diverse. You can also feel the Japanese culture to some extent.Especially when the cherry blossoms are at the end of the blooming stage, even if the cherry blossoms are no longer in full bloom, when everyone is no longer crazy about taking pictures, it will allow tourists and the environment to calm down together, while engaging in various cherry blossom viewing activities, quietly. Experience the beauty of cherry blossoms.
Every day, if the full bloom of pink cherry blossoms comes into view, it will actually bring some degree of aesthetic fatigue, especially for older parents, it is not a monotonous itinerary of daily flower viewing that can be easily passed away. .Regardless of whether it’s in full bloom season or not, it is quite recommended to arrange many matching cherry blossom viewing activities. At that time, after the full cherry blossom viewing activities on two or three days, the night cherry blossoms, markets, concerts and boat cruises began to be interspersed. In fact, It can make the elders impressed and feel like they are really playing. After all, the elders are not the younger generation who take selfies and cheer themselves!

Psychological construction of cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto
The rise of social networking sites allows people to share the joy and sense of victory of cherry blossom viewing. For those who also arrange cherry blossom viewing itineraries, it also brings some torture and loss. While admiring and admiring friends’ luck, Why not think smartly about how to enrich your itinerary and create your own cherry blossom viewing experience.
Especially when the cherry blossoms are blooming all over Kansai, the pressure of chasing the cherry blossoms is inevitable in my heart. When I have no time to participate in the blooming season and have to face Kyoto after the cherry blossoms are blowing in the snow, I have to be able to let go of the pressure of chasing the cherry blossoms in a hurry and learn slowly. Savour the beauty of the cherry blossoms slowly, anyway, there are not many cherry blossom viewing spots left, so it is enough to have one itinerary a day with other cruises and other activities.
