Since I went to Keihan for the first time to enjoy cherry blossoms with my friends in 2012, and took my in-laws again for a 14-day trip the following year, this trip in 2016, Wendy and I decided to meet up with a few friends in Kyoto to enjoy cherry blossoms, picnic, ride bicycle!Although the cherry blossoms are gradually blooming in the northeastern direction of Japan, and the Hanami in the Kansai area will come to an end, we still want to give a complete introduction of the 11-day itinerary as a reference for your planning next year. If you find it useful, you may wish to leave a message at the end of the article for encouragement. It is the greatest writing kinetic energy.
Day1: Depart from Taoyuan Airport → Osaka Kansai Airport → Osaka Tennoji → Tsuruhashi Station
- Depart from Taoyuan Airport → Osaka Kansai Airport → Tree Cafe Tennoji, Osaka → Shitennoji → Accommodation アパート Tsuruhashi Regency (Check price) → Tsuruhashi Yamato Yakiniku やまとく (dinner)
1. Route information
There are already many low-cost airlines stationed on the Taiwan-Osaka route, so whenever the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are in peak season, everyone can have more choices and get a reasonable fare. If you want to buy a ticket temporarily, you can usually ask Travel agencies are requested to arrange alternate seats for non-low-cost airlines. The information on direct flights from Taiwan to Osaka is as follows.
a. Traditional airlines
-Taoyuan → Osaka Kansai Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,TransAsia Airways,Cathay Pacific,Japan Airlines JAL
-Kaohsiung → Osaka Kansai Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air
b. Low-cost airlines
-Taoyuan → Osaka Kansai Airport:Jetstar Airways,Peach Airlines,Vanilla Air,Tigerair Taiwan,V Air
-Kaohsiung → Osaka Kansai Airport:Peach Airlines,Scoot,Tigerair Taiwan
2. Fare Information
In the past, we used to buy tickets on Jetstar Airways. We booked the tickets online about 4 months before the cherry blossom season. Both times we checked the tickets before the beginning of December at the end of the year. The starting fare was about 12, and this trip was made earlier. I checked the price in mid-to-late August 12,000 and found that the price was similar to what I had bought in the past. After discussing with Wendy, I decided to buy the ticket first.Another sharing friend decided to go to see the cherry blossoms together in mid-to-late March this year. She asked a travel agency to alternate a seat at China Airlines. The departure time is 2015/8～3/3, and the fare is about 31. , For your reference.
▲ Jetstar Japan’s Red Eye Class is available on Jetstar’s official website. It leaves early in the morning and returns more than 11 o’clock in the evening.
[Tree Cafe Tennoji, Osaka]
I thought it would be quicker to take the red-eye flight to Kansai Airport early and go to the JR Office to buy tickets. However, during the cherry blossom season, many foreign tourists visited and waited for about 20 minutes to buy the tickets. I believe it is better than Other flight times are much faster.Tonight's accommodation is near Osaka Tennoji Station. Wendy decided to put her luggage in the Tennoji Station storage box first, go for breakfast and run the trip, and then pick up her luggage and head to the check-in area.The Tree Cafe is located on the first floor of Mio Department Store. The 4 types of breakfast sets are enough to fill the hungry belly first, and they are also quite delicious.

▲ I have always liked egg salad-flavored sandwiches. I bought this for breakfast during this trip.
[ Shitennoji]
The climate in Japan has also changed in 2016. Originally, the expected date of the cherry blossoms was announced in late February. It was proposed that the Kansai region will be fully bloomed at the end of the month. For example, the full bloom date of Osaka is 2/3, and Kyoto is 28/3. The rapid weather turns cold, so that there are buds everywhere on the cherry trees, but they only stay in the form of 30 to 1 blooms.At that time, a website announced that close to 2% of the flowers were blooming at Shitennoji Temple in Osaka. Wendy was the first to come here for the accuracy of the experiment. However... the blooming degree of the cherry blossoms was closer to 2%.
▲ I can see the blossoming buds on the tree. This journey is indeed from the blooming to the fading of the flowers.
[ Accommodation アパート Tsuruhashi Regency ]
After two trips to view cherry blossoms in Keihan and two trips to see maple leaves in Kyoto, this season is when a room in Kyoto is hard to find and prices are rising. Since my first attempt to stay on Airbnb when I was traveling in Tokyo in June 2, I booked 2 in one breath. In a Kyoto Airbnb, the average price is about NT$2015~6. They all stay in a small suite with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. But a shocking event happened a week before departure!It was the first landlord who temporarily informed me to cancel the reservation because he was reported by the neighbor to check the water meter and could not provide me with housing!
I was in a rush that day, while checking out Agoda’s reasonably priced hotels in the Osaka area, on the one hand, I contacted the host and Airbnb to ask them for a refund. Fortunately, I found this hotel and was close to an Airbnb-style room. I finally breathed a sigh of relief! (→ Check house price)
[ Tsuruhashi Yamato Yakiniku やまとく ]
Osaka Tsuruhashi is known as the Yakiniku Street. Most of the specialties are Japanese black beef and all-you-can-eat or all-you-can-drink. When we went out to hunt for food, we were already attracted by the smell of yakiniku. "やまとく", it’s not easy to find in the alleys, but when I asked about it, it was already full of guests. The service staff told me to wait for 2 hours to get a seat. But this hit me very much. I insisted on the belief that I must eat it. It was agreed. Came for dinner at 8:30, and then went to the cafe outside on the street with Wendy and waited for a cake.This yakiniku restaurant is a smoke-free barbecue, and the 3,700 yen set meal per person is the first choice. I still can’t forget the taste of Kuroge Wagyu beef in retrospect.
Day2: Tsuruhashi Station → Osaka Sayamaike Park → Osaka Nihonbashi
- Osaka Sayamaike Park → Home roasting workshop カフェlittleisland → Nihombashi Denden Street → King of Gyoza
[ Osaka Sayamaike Park ]
As mentioned earlier, because of the cold weather, almost all predictions were inaccurate. Before I set off, I also posted a rhetoric to my friend "3/28～4/7 Pack Keihan Sakura at the most beautiful time!", no Thinking that all famous places have a flowering rate of 1 to 2%, they are all ready to buy electrical appliances or cosmeceuticals first.Unexpectedly, Wendy found a good place for cherry blossoms and the flowering rate was 7%. Taking advantage of the good weather, Wendy hurriedly set off to Sayamaike Park in Sayama City, Osaka. The cherry blossom forest on a wave embankment ushered in spring and gathered Japanese tourists. Having a picnic below, whether it is watching the children running and laughing or the couple sharing the afternoon, suddenly there is a feeling of "let go and live~"
▲ The Sayama Pond was built 1,400 years ago, and there are flags or waterway covers on the site.
▲ Picnic life, into the life of the Japanese, maybe we still need such a bit of fun to slow down and live life.
[ Home roasting workshop カフェlittleisland]
After several trips to Keihan and his party, they gradually abandoned chasing gourmet restaurants introduced on the Internet, and instead switched to restaurants or small shops during the itinerary. Firstly, there was more flexibility in the itinerary, and secondly, you can often find food hidden in private houses. This is the case with this privately-built coffee shop. The crispy and refreshing salad is paired with sesame noodle-wrapped pork rolls. Finally, you can sip the earl grey milk tea.
[Nihombashi Denden Street]
Before departure, I wanted to come to Keihan to see some electrical products I wanted to buy, such as Panasonic’s scalp machine, leg massage, hair curler heating unit, etc. I checked an electric street in Osaka, and thought it was as good as Akihabara, Tokyo. I went shopping, but I didn’t expect this to be the same as Akihabara, but it’s a paradise for anime fans. The shops sell mostly toys, models, DVDs, etc. However, Wendy still bought her favorite Star Wars model, which I think is also on the way to travel. unexpected result? (laugh)
▲ The hand-made model is very delicate, let Wendy start immediately.
[餃子の王将]
Does anyone like us think that the king of dumplings will be delicious?This chain store has already been introduced by many friends, so I will share it with you first. Every time we come, one of the dishes we must order is "Fried Pork Liver with Bean Sprouts and Vegetables". It tastes sweet and salty, but it tends to be more delicious. .
Day3: Tsuruhashi Station → Tenjin Bridge, Kita District, Osaka → Tsurumi District, Osaka
- Owl Cafe → Nanmori Town Tianyi Division → Osaka Tsurumi Mitsui outlet → Matsuya Furu
[ Owl Cafe ]
I often see friends or clubs sharing the Owl Coffee Shop on the board. These little birds are on their shoulders or on their heads. The cute appearance with round eyes keeps calling me to visit, so except for a few famous cherry blossom viewing spots, I insist on going. A coffee shop is also a must-see on the list.It is divided into one hour every hour. It requires advance registration and interaction with the owl according to the instructions of the on-site personnel. The store time and venue are arranged appropriately. Almost all guests can definitely take photos or interact with these darlings. It is highly recommended.
[Nansen Town Tianyi Division]
After stepping out of Owl Cafe, stroking my grunting belly, I had to search for food again. It was originally expected that food is not the focus of the itinerary, because as long as I am excited or the beautiful scenery is in front of me, I will get up and take pictures. Forget about being hungry, after playing with a group of cute owls, and Wendy choose a noodle shop nearby, come to a bowl of hot soup, more important than anything.
[Osaka Tsurumi Mitsui outlet]
I searched for information on the Internet. The Osaka Outlet can be divided into Mitsui and Rinku Town. I am considering which one to go to. I want to go shopping last year.Toyama City Mitsui OutletIt's super good and the brands are very complete, so I chose Mitsui Outlet Osaka as the end of today's itinerary.But I think this place is more focused on leisure brand gatherings. There are substantial discounts but they are too casual for home. The bags, accessories or clothing that I originally wanted to buy on a large scale have to give up. Friends who usually have sports or climbing habits, I recommend you to visit here. .
[松屋フーズ]
The origin of He Matsuya was on the last day of a trip. He Wendy didn’t have much Japanese currency to eat and drink. I accidentally saw Matsuya outside Osaka Kansai Airport. I didn’t expect that the price marked on it was so cheap. With our meager cash left. It just happens to be enough for one person to eat a meal. Later, when traveling, if you want to save money or if you are greedy for convenient transportation, you will go to Matsuya and order a roast pork rice.
Day4: Tsuruhashi Station → Kyoto Station → Yamashina District, Kyoto → Sakyo District, Kyoto → Shanggyo District, Kyoto → Shimogyo District, Kyoto
- Yamashina Canal → Matsuya Frontier → Rent a cycle EMUSICA → Kyoto Imperial Palace → Isan (イーサン) → Accommodation Casamia In Kyoto
[ Yamashina Canal ]
Shanke Canal is the famous cherry blossom viewing spot that I designated to Wendy. It is different from the horticultural scenery carefully planted in temples or imperial gardens. The natural and pristine scenery prefers to take a rest here. The bright yellow rape blossoms on the river bank reflect the Yoshino cherry blossoms. Pink, so we have arrived very early. There are still some photographers taking pictures on the spot. If you come here early during non-holiday hours, it will be more comfortable than other famous places.
[松屋フーズ]
This point will not be repeated. (At the request of a friend, accompany you to have a meal in the Matsuya of Yamashina Station)
[Rent a cycle EMUSICA]
When traveling to and from Kyoto in the past, I used more public transportation. I never thought I could rent a bicycle. Rent a cycle EMUSICA, located outside Demachiyanagi Station, is a store highly recommended by my friends. You can rent a bicycle for a day of fun for only 500 yen. , Can be returned before 8pm.
[Kyoto Imperial Garden]
After renting two bicycles, I followed my friends and rode all the way to the Kyoto Imperial Garden. The weeping cherry blossoms here are blooming very well, especially the white ones bloom all over the garden. I took a waterproof floor mat with my friends and picked a good view. Sit down in a comfortable position, and the picnic in the afternoon became the mode of this trip. I didn't deliberately rush to the number of attractions. In order to get together with a few friends I haven't met for a long time, I talked a lot and let me express my feelings a lot through this journey.
[Isan (イーサン)]
My friend was studying in Kyoto before and met Thai classmates. He said that this Thai restaurant is certified by classmates. The chef is from Thailand, and the service staff on the premises will say that the Thai language and the menu are all authentic craftsmanship. I have to give it a taste. Evaluation certification.These dishes in the picture are all must be ordered when returning to Thailand. The chef has slightly adjusted according to the tastes of the Japanese, but still does not lose their deliciousness. It is guessed that some common Thai spices are not easy to grow due to the latitude or climate of Japan, or they may be quite Expensive, I will skip a few flavors. Those who love Thai food can still taste it.
[Accommodation Casamia In Kyoto]
Casamia In Kyoto is located near Nijo Castle. All the equipment in the room is available. The landlord also provides a Wi-Fi sharing device for Internet use. Whenever we go out for a trip, we use the surrounding buses to travel to and from the scenic spots. It makes me a little better. I used to think It is most convenient to choose the surrounding area of Kyoto Station. In fact, if you are familiar with Kyoto transportation and flexible planning, you don’t have to adapt to the location, and spend a relatively high price to order hotels. In this part, I will write another article to share the booking experience for everyone.
Day5: Shimogyo District, Kyoto → Sakyo District, Kyoto → Higashiyama District, Kyoto
- 出町ふたば→ Gion Shirakawa → Gion 麺处むらじ (Lunch) → Gion Garden → Takashimaya Department Store (Pokémon Store.Food Street Souvenirs)
[出町ふたば]
My friend took us on a local tour, and specifically mentioned the shop in Demachi ふたば. The crowd was full of people (mostly purchased by Japanese), which confirmed that it seems to be very famous!Due to the rain this day, we met near Demachiyanagi Station. Friends thoughtfully went to line up to buy this sakura biscuit and daifuku. The Q soft biscuit crust was wrapped with red bean filling, hoping to give us a chance to taste the local taste.
[ Gion Shirakawa ]
I took my parents-in-law to this attraction in 2013, but it was a pity that the spring mist was windy and rainy, and the petals of the cherry blossoms were knocked down, leaving only the weeping cherry and the green willows.Gion’s Shirakawa in a rainy day is still full of white pink cherry blossoms. There are a few couples on a street taking photos under the light rain, which is quite hard, but the street with not many tourists is lined with cherry blossoms, and the picture is full of happiness.
[祇园麺处むらじ]
After enjoying the cherry blossoms on a rainy day, my friends couldn’t bear to cry out for food when they were hungry. They also found "麺处むらじ" in the alleys and opened the curtains. There were several groups of guests waiting in line. Fortunately, they didn’t wait long .Friends who are traveling with me can already be said to be locals in Kyoto. They are familiar with where they are delicious, fun and easy to buy, and they are familiar with Japanese. The on-site help and communication are always better than if we talk nonsense, like this bowl of lemon ramen can be immediately Recognize the season's limited, taste the refreshing taste of ramen soup.
[祇園きなな]
There is an ice cream shop hidden in Hanami Koji, which was shared with them by a friend’s senior photographer. When they visited the maple viewing the year before, they had the opportunity to lead them to taste delicious ice products. They promised not to introduce this shop at the time. There is too much room for queuing people, but in fact, I have searched and introduced it by several friends. I will sort out the information and let everyone know about this store, so stay tuned.
[Takashimaya Department Store Tour]
I have always skipped over the food court of department stores or the B1 floor. I really don’t know which brands are worth buying or famous. I didn’t expect my friend, who is here, has already opened up the heaven and earth line, pulling us straight to Takashimaya. From senbei, shrimp cakes, POKEY premium versions to honey cakes, almost every store we will pay the bill obediently. The on-site tasting is also a kind of magic. For the first time, we returned to Taiwan with a lot of biscuits and snacks, as well as some limited toys. (Because this friend is a toy pass! They are all pushed into the hole~)

Friends live near here and keep advocating that we must come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms. The row of Yoshino cherry blossoms is quite spectacular, with petals passing under the trees and flicking the whole body. Sometimes couples or couples come here for a walk. The atmosphere of life is fully revealed.
[ Kyoto Botanical Garden ]
The Kyoto Botanical Garden is very suitable for visiting in spring and autumn. In the spring, the cherry blossoms bloom in the garden. At the same time, many colors of tulips are planted. With Japanese people, they have picnics under the trees and bring their own fruits and desserts. I really admire the newcomers who enter the park to take wedding photos, especially photographers who have to constantly look for sceneries and locations, avoid the crowds who enter the park, and secretly observe Japanese newcomers taking wedding photos. Up to now, they seem to be Japanese dresses or white gauze. Like Taiwan, there will be various dress styles (Western style)?

[ Toyo Pavilion ]
Toyo-tei is located next to the Kyoto Botanical Garden. It is a super delicious restaurant that friends praised. It is famous for its hamburger steak and century-old pudding. At that time, there were more than 20 groups of people waiting in line. Speaking of sitting and resting for a while, some guests were not there when the number was called, so it was our turn to be pretty soon!The hamburger steak is delicious when served, and you can also dip the bread into the sauce and bite it. It's an absolutely full meal!In addition, the pudding after the meal is amazing. Because of the century-old technology and taste, the fragrant caramel sauce and the pudding melt into one bite... (Damn it, I'm so hungry!).
[He Mochuan Cherry Blossoms]
On this day, the half-timbered weeping cherry tree next to the Kamogawa River has not yet bloomed, but the Yoshino cherry blossoms on both sides of the bank are in full bloom. They are also riding a bicycle. The weather is no longer so cold. The occasional clusters of scattered sunshine always It can make us reluctant to leave, can't put down our mobile phones, and finally have to feel the colorful spring scenery with our eyes and heart.

We even wanted to visit the love shop four times in this area.Bengue Roasted Pork, I didn’t expect to see this beef horn roasted meat shop on the corner of the street. The brand new signboard and the waiting crowd on the second floor made us decide to find out. Fortunately, we were quite full at noon. After waiting in line for 25~30 minutes, it was already 10 p.m. Point, ready to sprint hard here!

- Nara Takada Senbonzakura → やよいgen Kawaramachi Sanjo Store
[ Nara Takada Senbonzakura ]
As the date approaches the time of returning to Japan, and the cherry blossoms are gradually in full bloom, the only worry is that the weather in Keihan is always cloudy and not clear. Is the rain god staying in the Kansai area... Hurry up!Wendy used the weather query tool and saw that Nara was occasionally sunny on a cloudy day, plus the beautiful scenery of Senbonzakura, and agreed with friends to meet, prepare food and floor mats, and start a weekend picnic day to spend an afternoon relaxing. time.

- Yawata City Backward Embankment → Fushimi Ten Stone Boat Cruise → Fushimi Momoyama waterfront cherry blossom viewing → Keihan Sanjo Station 麺あしかり→ Kurofune Honey Cake
[ Yawata City Backward Embankment ]
Since I started to write blogs, I have met a group of Japanese travel friends through social tools. Basically I would call them bad friends because the cherry blossoms in their lens are so beautiful, especially the scenic spot with the back of the embankment, which is white and snowy under the blue sky. The petals floating in the cherry blossom forest always make me unforgettable. Taking advantage of this cherry blossom viewing trip, I ask Wendy to schedule it anyway, even if my friends say that there are many people and the muddy rainy days, they can’t prevent the shooting of this scenic spot. determination. (soul)
▲▼ There is only one important point... "Everyone has to go to work on Monday."
[ Fushimi Ten Stone Boat Cruise ]
In 2013, the cherry blossom viewing party took the parents-in-law to visit here. At that time, they saw the ten-stone boat sliding across the river and the green willows. Taking advantage of the full time today, I begged Wendy to take a cruise together and feel the Fushimi district. The style of the city is different.
[Fushimi Momoyama waterfront cherry blossom viewing]
After boarding the cruise, we saw blooming pink cherry blossoms and rows of willow trees on both sides of the river. Looking at the map and route, we could walk all the way from the boat to Fushimi-Momoyama Station. The scenery is somewhat similar to that of Omi Hachiman, but more With the elegance of the water and green of the south of the Yangtze River, sometimes you have to take your breath and look at the beautiful scenery in front of you.
[Keihan Sanjo Station 麺处あしかり]
After returning to the city, I originally made up my mind to go to the cheap and delicious beef set meal restaurant praised by my friends, but I hurt my heel in 2012 when I saw the cherry blossoms. I endured the pain every day and walked through the sights you saw. I couldn’t walk any longer. I saw this noodle shop in the same building after leaving the station. I decided it was this one on the spur of the moment, but I didn’t expect its soba noodles to be delicious. It is close to the style of dry fried noodles. It’s worth a visit. .
[Black Ship Honey Cake]
I bought a Fusago house honey cake a few days ago, and I wanted to take it back to Taiwan again. On the way back today to take the bus, I suddenly stopped and stared at the store. The in-store service staff hurried out to greet me. However, they are all very friendly from Taiwanese. Not only did they introduce their cakes in detail, let me try them one by one, but also introduced the store’s signature dessert "Strawberry Dorayaki", which is shipped from Osaka daily, except for seasonal restrictions. Without a word, I immediately bought two of them and brought them back to my friends to taste!

The third is the designated attraction that must not be included in the itinerary. I heard that many Geyou said that you have to get up early to take pictures of no one. This is true!It is rare that good weather reveals the blue sky. Travelers all get up in the morning and go out early. There were already some tourists when we arrived at about XNUMX o’clock. This railway line is surrounded by pink cherry blossoms, and it has become one of the favorite shooting locations for newcomers. , Maybe next time I will try harder to come here to take pictures earlier, although this picture is already very fascinating.
[ Okazaki Canal Sakura Corridor Ten Stone Boat ]
Wendy and I came here in 2012 and wanted to make an appointment for a cruise on the same day. Unfortunately, the appointment was full at that time. When I passed by this day, I saw a younger brother sending a leaflet and going straight. Maybe it was too early. , There are no tourists, so lucky to take the second boat that day, let the boatman guide us along the way, tourists on the bridge or on both sides will definitely take pictures like this when seeing the boat passing by.
[Nanatani River Serenity Avenue, Kameoka City]
Do you have a Japanese travel information fan group that you must follow?This time, I saw matcha dumplings sharing a photo of cherry blossoms clustered on both sides of the bank with a stream passing by. They said that this was the Nanatani River in Kameoka City and planted 1,500 cherry blossoms. After discussing with Wendy, I decided to sprint in the last few days because of the traffic here. Inconvenience (long bus service intervals), no wonder there are not too many tourists, so only local tourists come here by car, not noisy, and you can feel the real meaning of Hanami.

Yes, when we walked slowly to the other half of the Duyue Bridge, my feet would have long since resigned, because The old heel hurts so much. Friends and Wendy go to buy light food to fill their stomachs. I look up at the sunset and the weeping cherry blossoms in front of me, and it is inevitable that there is a light sigh that the scenery is about to die.
[タイガー Gyoza Club Shijo Karasuma]
I originally wanted to take my friends to eat at a roast meat shop praised by her boss tonight, and it was also used as a celebration for her birthday. Unfortunately, my friend looked at the menu and found that a la carte was not worthwhile (she can eat very well), so I changed to the surrounding area. This dumpling shop.I like coriander myself, so I came here for a night with chicken fried noodles mixed with coriander. How did I know that it looked like this when it was served.
▲ Did the boss put 1 kg of coriander in my bowl? ! (Panic)
[Accommodation Home In Kyoto]
This Airbnb in Shijo, it must be said... the actual scene is very different from the photos on the website!After taking a few quick shots, I told Wendy, "I don’t want to take them anymore, I don’t want to introduce the place of accommodation for the first time." I didn’t expect this guy to seriously say "I can still introduce it! Let people know that this is a landmine, don’t choose." It’s just that I can’t finish writing what I like. I don’t have much motivation to write about mines. That’s why if I don’t say that readers won’t know, it turns out that it’s not written by bloggers, but “good and worth reporting.” I can't finish it!".

It’s only today that I discovered why friends visit Kyoto so frequently to see cherry blossoms. It is not only Kyoto’s famous cherry blossom viewing spots, but Nara has many waterfront cherry blossoms to enjoy. In the morning, we locked in the Sabo River here, not only bought breakfast, and sat down. Taste and enjoy on the stairs, basking in the sun, and admiring the beautiful flowers and colors in front of you, and even the old man brought the sketch tools to record this stretch of flower forest in 2016.

After 10 days of disability, I had already dispelled the idea of going back to Kyoto to meet with friends. Wendy said that the last place to enjoy cherry blossoms, okay...slowly stepping into this place, enduring the pain of my feet. The cherry blossom tunnel and the Yuchuan embankment are more pristine and unsculpted, with the lives of the people on both sides, and children playing in the water.

[The Tao of Philosophy Ye Sakura]
We have seen the cherry blossoms in full bloom under the blue sky of the Tao of Philosophy, and we walked into a carpet of cherry blossoms in the rain with our parents-in-law. Fortunately, we were able to see the night cherry blossoms of the Tao of Philosophy the night before going back to Taiwan. There were not many tourists. , Only the quiet night and the light and shadow intertwined, marking the perfect end of a cherry blossom tour.

Afterwards, we chose a restaurant at the entrance of the Philosophy Way. This hot bowl of grilled fish noodle soothes the hearts and stomachs of travelers.

Day11: Kyoto Station → Osaka Kansai Airport → Taoyuan Airport
- Kyoto Station → Osaka Kansai Airport → Taoyuan Airport
Today we encountered Haruka and the strong wind stopped the Kansai Limited Express Haruka. We took the bus from Kyoto Station to Hineno and changed trains. Originally thought we would transfer to the airport by bus here, but the station staff said that we could transfer to Rinku Town. Rinku Town takes a bus to the airport.The scene was chaotic.
