What to expect

Fushimi Momoyama Castle (Choose one to visit: Fushimi Momoyama Castle or Fushimi Jikkokubune) Its magnificent appearance perfectly blends with the surrounding natural landscape, making it an iconic cherry blossom viewing spot in the Fushimi area. During cherry blossom season, Fushimi Momoyama Castle, with cherry trees lining the Horikawa River and ancient buildings, sees pink and white petals falling with the wind, creating a shower of blossoms. The Tenshu-kaku (castle tower) stands above a sea of cherry blossoms, blending with the spring flowers, offering a quiet and less crowded experience.

Fushimi Jikkokubune (Choose one to visit: Fushimi Momoyama Castle or Fushimi Jikkokubune) During cherry blossom season, the Jikkokubune offers a unique Kyoto water-based cherry blossom viewing experience. Edo-style retro boats cruise along the Uji River, with cherry trees lining both banks. Petals flutter into the water, forming a romantic pink carpet. Boatmen pole through the “cherry rain,” with the sound of flowing water accompanying the falling blossoms, providing an immersive journey through a cherry blossom tunnel. Every scene is as beautiful as a Japanese drama. Note: This tour does not include Jikkokubune boat tickets, and boat fees must be paid by the guests themselves. Important notice for boat rides during cherry blossom season: Guests without reserved tickets may need to queue on-site, and the waiting time could be long. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms from the riverbank, or it is recommended to go directly to Fushimi Momoyama Castle for cherry blossom viewing. Guests with reserved tickets should arrive at the boarding point 20 minutes in advance. Operating route: Boarding point (behind Gekkeikan Okura Memorial Hall, along the river) to disembark at Misu Lock (for viewing) to re-board to boarding point. Boat ride duration is approximately 55 minutes. Reference boat fees: Adults 1,500 yen (junior high school students and above) / Children 750 yen (elementary school students and below). Normal operating hours: 10:20, 10:40

Sewaritei Embankment During cherry blossom season, the Sewaritei Embankment is an iconic cherry blossom viewing spot in Kansai. 250 cherry trees stretch for 1.4 kilometers, forming a spectacular cherry blossom path. Pink and white cherry blossoms are like clouds and mist, resembling pink ribbons floating on the river. You can climb the observation tower for a panoramic view or have a picnic by the embankment. The river breeze carries falling blossoms, allowing you to immerse yourself in the romance and comfort of the cherry blossom season.

Ninna-ji Temple Ninna-ji Temple is a must-visit spot for late-blooming cherry blossoms in Kyoto. Over 200 Omuro cherry trees are in full bloom in mid-April, making it the last cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto. The cherry tree branches are low, and the petals hang down, allowing for close-up touching. Double-petaled cherry blossoms cluster into a sea, complementing the royal ancient temple and the five-story pagoda. When the cherry blossoms fall like snow, the path is covered with petals, creating a beautiful blend of ancient temple Zen and a sea of flowers.

Enjoying cherry blossoms from the Fushimi Jikkokubune boat ride - a secluded and peaceful spot with fewer crowds, where you can also admire the cherry blossoms by boat.

Review for: Pick-up and drop-off at a designated meeting point.

we were very lucky and had beautiful weather to enjoy this day. it is nice to have transport to the most beautiful chrrry blossom locations. this tour does not include any tickets for attractions or very much explanation about what you are going to see. it is mainly transportation, but the guide is very friendly, mostly mandarin Chinese speaking. the castle is closed due to construction but the grounds around that area are beautiful.

It was a happy and enjoyable trip, perfectly timed for the cherry blossom season. Even with a light drizzle, the fun wasn't diminished. Many thanks to our tour guide and driver for their warm hospitality, especially our guide Mia, who provided explanations in both English and Chinese throughout the trip. She took meticulous care of every traveler and was truly dedicated, responsible, and experienced. We hope to enjoy the same excellent service again next time!

Review for: Pick-up and drop-off at a designated meeting point.

No boat ride and no castle! and we have to pay admission fees to every place ourselves. this is a scam where the itinerary does not match the title or content of the description. it was an intentional scam as if there is no boat ride, there is no point for this tour as we could have take the train to the destinations.

Review for: Pick-up and drop-off at a designated meeting point.

This was an absolute waste of my money. To the point where my family made our own way home. No where did it say you needed to pre-purchase tickets so we missed out on the boat. Then the guide said we weren't going to the castle for some reason. So what was the point of the tour? Got a bus ride to see a few cherry trees - I could have done that myself on the train. Want a refund

This tour dropped us off at a Boat Rental Location with no access to boats and then to a Castle that was closed to the Public. The locations were beautiful. however, there is no experience to be had, no guide to explain where you are. This is basically transportation with no Guide.

Found out on the bus can only choose river boat or the castle cannot go to both places. Lined up for the river boat , other people had priority as they made reservation, was told we might get on 3pm and tour bus scheduled pick up at noon. Could not get to the river boat and not allowed to go to the castle park as we could only pick one place. It is nice pick up and drop off time is on schedule
