In spring, cherry blossoms and the river complement each other, making it a favorite cherry blossom viewing secret place for Nara locals. • There are slow-paced paths on both sides of the river, which are very suitable for early morning strolls, away from the crowds, and enjoying a moment of tranquility. 🌸 Second stop: Nara Park|Share cherry blossom time with deer • Nara Park is not only a paradise for deer, but also a paradise for cherry blossom lovers in spring. The pink cherry blossoms form a beautiful contrast with the verdant lawns. • Near Kasuga Taisha and Todaiji Temple, cherry blossoms and ancient buildings complement each other, which is a perfect combination of history and nature. • Interact with Nara deer, feed deer senbei, and feel the healing atmosphere of Nara. 🌸 Third stop: Tsubosaka Temple|Looking for cherry blossoms in ancient temples • Tsubosaka Temple is an ancient temple with a long history in Nara. It is famous for enshrining Guanyin and is also a hidden treasure attraction during the cherry blossom season. • The cherry blossom trees and the quaint temple buildings are perfectly integrated, especially the large Buddha statue in the temple is framed with cherry blossoms, which is very shocking. 🌸The fourth stop: Yoshino Mountain|The spectacular scenery of “Thousand Cherry Blossoms” ends • Yoshino Mountain is one of the holy places for cherry blossom viewing in Japan, famous for “Thousand Cherry Blossoms”. There are tens of thousands of cherry blossom trees on the mountain, distributed in the three areas of Shimo-Sen-Ben, Naka-Sen-Ben, and Utsusemi-Sen-Ben. • On the way up the mountain, you can overlook the entire sea of cherry blossoms, pink and white interweaving, magnificent. • There are also many historic temples on the mountain, such as Yoshimizu Shrine and Kinpuzen Temple, which are integrated into the beauty of cherry blossoms.

Review for: 賞櫻一日遊

we were lucky to catch the best cherry blossom at it peak time, this year was late and we see the full blooming in all locations. These are the best bloom I see so far. Our guide are great, explained every location with their historic story, great for new visitors to Japan.

Review for: One-day cherry blossom viewing tour

The tour was well organized and I enjoyed it a lot. Although the guide was Chinese and could only speak Mandarin, he made sure that everyone on the bus from all walks of life could understand what was going on. We spend too much time in Nara and too little time in Uji.

Review for: 賞櫻一日遊

The driver sent me whatsapp the day before to give me information about the meeting place and other information. The time allocated for the itinerary was reasonable and sufficient. Although the eight of us seemed to be sitting in a car pool and no one introduced the attractions, the price discount was really attractive👍🏻. If you want to stay longer at Byodo-in Temple or Todaiji Temple (I rented an audio guide), you will be pressed for time. But I like that the meeting time is relatively late, so I don’t have to get up early. The only exception was that we just happened to have a flower festival when we arrived at Bei Kaedei, so we were not allowed to park along the way and we had to walk farther to the park.

Review for: One-day cherry blossom viewing tour

It was a small group of us only. The bus coach ride was quite comfy. Loved the Nara deer park and Uji! Cherry blossoms have not opened yet in Nara/Uji/Kyoto/Osaka. We only managed to catch 2 or 3 random trees that have early blooms. It would be good if they could mention it before the trip and suggest alternative places to go instead.

The entire itinerary was well arranged and the cherry blossom viewing was successful, which was a perfect ending to the 2024 Osaka cherry blossom viewing trip. Will attend again in the future

Review for: 賞櫻一日遊

There are many tourists in the peak tourist season, and the itinerary is a bit rushed due to traffic jams. I can't enjoy the cherry blossoms and eat slowly. The tour guide Shirley is very good. In the short itinerary, he told a lot of useful Japanese information and arranged the time well.

Review for: 赏樱一日游

No one at Klook took the initiative to inform us of the itinerary in advance, and no one contacted us until the afternoon before, which made it a bit unsettling. The tour guide Shirley was very nice and the itinerary was satisfactory.

Although it’s not quite the cherry blossom season🌸, there are buses that go directly to different landscapes to enjoy cherry blossoms🌸 and you can feed the deer, so the itinerary is not bad!
