Kyoto’s Best Cherry Blossom Spots 🌸 

My favourite time of year!!! In my favourite city in Japan!!! 🌸Which spot would you like to visit the most?

Thank you for actually going out and filming, instead of being in a room talking about things.

Night time in Kyoto does look very special.

All the moments with people in the background smiling, waving and doing other stuff cracks me up 😀

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 RU-vid now. They remembered Seera-san! Very fun people and pretty Sakura.

Thanks for mentioning me☺🌸

This was filmed in the most friend based way! I just toured this area with my best friend…😊 Thank you.

The other Japan vloggers make me wanna visit. Sarah has a knack of making me feel like I've already been there

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🌸

(1) Suppression of emotions (2) Isolation and loneliness (3) Diverse annual events and hobbies The trinity of Japanese culture In order to adapt to Japanese life, it is important to participate in annual events and hobby circles. Traveling is a typical hobby activity. Hobbies that are now becoming popular among immigrants from the West are motorcycling, cycling, and scuba diving. Scuba diving is also popular among Japanese people in connection with seaweed regeneration activities.

Thanks for the beautiful Japanese cherry blossom video.😄

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.

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! 🙏🌸

Precautions Do not break branches of cherry trees. Cherry trees are susceptible to bacterial infection from wounds if damaged. Some facilities prohibit visitors from touching cherry trees. (This is because there have been a series of cases of spectators breaking branches or climbing trees and damaging the trunks.)

Somethings cannot be Searched for , only Discovered . " when it's Fate , there is no coincidence ". the Season of Cherry Blossom is the Time of Dreams , the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious , the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals , is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " , catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish

Its like the Jacaranda's we get here in Perth, tourists and locals all flock to see them.

Can't wait to check out these cherry blossoms next spring. Great content!

2:05 That laugh was too kawaii 😅

so many beautiful views

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.

nothing cuter than a fluffy puppy butt

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.

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.

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!

Thanks for another video. You're part of my Japan trip prep

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.

You wre my favourite japanese vlogging youtuber ❤❤❤❤

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.

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

Thanks for sharing this video on Kyoto's best hanami spots! 🌸

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❤

Japan is always great Spring, def agree with you.

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.

Thank You for showing us your Sakura Adventure! :)

移動結構大変だったのでは 忙しい妻に黙って行こうと思ったけどやめときます。 今年は京都に行けそうにないので、 美しい笑顔と桜🌸や柳の映像ありがとう😊 桜ビール🍺良いなぁ👍️ 日本語でごめんよー

I think you're going to have to do a special video about your favourite breads, because there seems to be a running theme with you and bread products, haha. The first time I had shokupan, my life was forever changed, so I get it.

Fun fact: Hall & Oates wrote the song "Sara Smile" for Seerasan. 🎶

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!!

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.

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.

cool to see ur release schedule ramp up now ur trying to make content ur full time

I went to Gosho last Saturday with my family and got the ice cream in Sasaya Iori!

beautiful and chill place thanks for tour seerasan 🎎

I think I'll visit Japan next spring！Thanks for the video！🫶🇳🇱

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.

From this old boy from Perth Down-Under ; Awesome video vlog 10/04/2024

Love your videos showcasing the beauty of Japan. Love visiting there. Would move there if I could.

Seera has become the final word on Sakura Season & viewing imho 🎉

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!

This is the most beautiful Sakura 🌸 video I've ever seen 😻. The night viewing was so gorgeous 🥰🌸. Thank you so much Sarah 🌸🫶

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.

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.

I'll be there in 2 weeks. Hoping it is still blooming. Awesome video.

Beautiful backdrop of every moment, with Flawless Seera in the foreground

日本へようこそ！ お茶碗の持ち方がとても美しいです。 日本語のアクセントも素晴らしい！日本をリスペクトしてくださっているのが伝わってきます。 見ているこちらも幸せな気持ちになれました。ありがとうございます。

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! 🌸

映像から、とても幸せそうに感じる🍀

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!!

Thank you for the perfect tour! I can't wait to visit someday.

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.

I dont think I ever comment on your videos, I like how you show things in a chill way with your aussie accent!

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've gone through the philosopher's path during momiji and it's also beautiful.

Looks so magical with all those sakuras, I need some tea or coffee with a view of those sakuras looks so chill

There is a "Japanese style" bakery near one of the main train stations in my city now

Thats the dream scenario, doing everything in this video with Sarah! ♥♥♥

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.

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 left, literally a week too soon! 😔 So jealous

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.

So Beauty😊 sakura&you

So beautiful ❤❤❤

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

Very nice looking evening hanami! Thank You for Kyoto Sakura tour!

I'd like to visit the wagashi shop as my surname is 伊織. 😊

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.

best guide out. More like this!!!!

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 RU-vid. 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.

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'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?

best channel ive found recently. luv it

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.

Loved it. Will be going to Japan in April 2025 and hoping for late Sakura blooming (like this year)🤞😊

So beautiful!! 💕💕 The sakura trees in my area in the states still have a few weeks till bloom, so im gonna have a spring picnic for the solar eclipse!

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Looks so nice

This looks so beautiful. Wish I was there!

Great video! Will these spots and food streets still be available tomorrow? Dropping by Kyoto tomorrow!

When I glimpsed at the thumbnail I thought it said “Sarah” - really enjoyed the simplicity of it 😂

Love this vid! Looking forward to my trip in the autumn!

so nice video!!! I enjoyed very very much! thanks Sarah😍

🌸🌸🌸

Take me with you on tour 🙏🙏🙏

A week in Kyoto during Sakura season, the dream (and a little nightmare with the crowds), but mostly dream! Where did you stay for the week?

Spectacular! Love your channel! Please keep it up! Will always watching. : )

I just need to move to Japan already 🥲

夜遅くまで編集ご苦労さまです！ 甘い飲み物や食べ物をたくさん飲み食いしてたのに ぜんぜん太らないでずっと綺麗なままで羨ましいわ！！

You have Beautiful eyes. 😻
