The predicted cherry blossom blooming date in Kyoto in 2025
is around March 27th.
Full bloom is thought to occur about a week later.
Tourists from overseas and all over Japan who come to our restaurant during cherry blossom season often say things like this:
"I didn't expect so many people to come, so I was honestly disappointed. Is there anywhere that isn't crowded where I can enjoy the cherry blossoms?"
Most places have some sort of advertising, so they are well-known and attract more people.
So, we'll tell you about places where fewer people know about and where you can enjoy cherry blossoms.
A relatively quiet SAKURA(cherry blossoms) spots in KYOTO
I've grouped two or three places in the same area together
to make it easier for you to get to.
★IWAKURA AREA
(Because it is located in the north, the peak bloom date is likely to be a little later.)
JISSO-IN TEMPLE(Please take a bus)
The bus heading to Jisso-in Temple heads north along the Kamo River.
If you can get a seat on the left side of the bus, you can relax and enjoy the
long view of the cherry blossoms blooming along the river.

This is a historic shrine with several buildings that are designated as Japan's
national treasures.
It is located at the top of a mountain. You can hike there on foot, but there is
also a cable car so anyone can visit.
From the top of the mountain you can see the three rivers that flow through
Kyoto city joining together. The view is magnificent. Cherry trees are planted
along the riverside, so in spring when the scenery turns pink with cherry
blossoms, it is a spectacular sight

2. ISHIYAMADERA(SHIGA Pref, ISHIYAMA)

Temple are magnificent. There are few restaurants, so we recommend
eating bento lunches and rice balls on the riverbank.
