Sakura Refugees, Head Here!! Kawazu Cherry Trees in Full Bloom! 🌸

#cherryblossom25
The Kawazu cherry trees are in full bloom, and they are a lifesaver for sakura seekers! Right now, they're at their peak, and I couldn't wait to share these unedited original photos — no time for adjustments, just had to post them ASAP! 🌸✨ The "hit rate" of beautiful shots is 120%! Being surrounded by blossoms like this makes you feel so happy! 🌸

Location & Transportation:
Yodo Subway Station: Exit and you'll immediately see a small area with Kawazu cherry trees.
Google Maps: Search for "Yodo no Kawazu Sakura," and it will take you on a 15-20 minute walk to the main area.
Both sides of the Yodo River are lined with cherry trees in full bloom. You can walk along the river, and though there are a lot of people, every tree has tourists taking photos, so it’s best to arrive early or go later in the day when it’s quieter. 📸

Tips for Visiting:
Arrive before 8 AM: We arrived around 9 AM and it was already busy. We spent 2.5 hours walking around, taking photos, and enjoying the flowers. Honestly, it’s so beautiful you won't want to leave!
One-Day Sakura Viewing Route:
For the "special forces" version (if you’re feeling tired, you can split it into two days):

Yodo River Kawazu Cherry Trees (1-2 hours): The photo opportunities are amazing! Portrait shots come out fantastic, and just walking around with the cherry blossoms guarantees great photos (I'll update more soon!).
Sekiryo Slope (2 hours): Still not fully bloomed, but as mentioned in my previous notes, once they’re fully open, it's perfect for a cherry blossom picnic, so bring a mat and enjoy the atmosphere! 🌸
Fushimi Ishijo Funakoshi (1 hour, no boat ride): Not open yet, but definitely something to look forward to.
Daigo-ji Temple (2 hours): Blossoms are about 70%-80% open, and it’s stunning! If you’re looking to see sakura, make sure to go soon!
Oishi Shrine (1 hour): Half-open now, the blue hour and night sakura here are magical, don’t miss it when it’s fully open! 🌙🌸
