🌸 Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel – A Spring Adventure 🌸

#cherryblossom25
I recommend this self-discovered route for an incredible cherry blossom experience:

Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel → Kobe Oji Zoo → Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art
🌸 Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel
It’s definitely worth a visit!
📍 Location: Grands States Rokko Sakura Street. You can take a bus to a nearby spot and then walk to the tunnel. The entire road is lined with cherry blossoms.
Be careful when taking photos, as cars will pass through the tunnel. At first, I thought I was blocking someone’s way because a car stopped for a while at the top, and I tried to step aside, almost pressing against the wall. But then I noticed the driver was taking photos with an Olympus film camera. It turns out, nobody can resist a spring tunnel with half cherry blossoms and half the sea! 🌸🌊

🦁 Kobe Oji Zoo
A hidden gem! There were hardly any visitors when I arrived around noon, only a few kindergarten teachers playing with their kids. I casually found a cherry blossom tree, set up my tripod, and slowly took photos. This zoo has many cherry trees that are fully bloomed and hang low, so you can freely take pictures without worrying about disturbing others.

🎨 Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art
Designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando! I only visited the free regular exhibition, where you can learn about Ando’s design philosophy and background. If you’re into architecture or design, you absolutely cannot miss this! Don’t forget to head upstairs to capture some cool shots of the Green Apple sculpture. 🍏
