Another exhausting day of trekking until my feet feel like they’re on fire… The human tidal waves at Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera are absolutely overwhelming!
Cherry blossom season brings an *explosion* of visitors – and believe it or not, the sakura haven’t even reached their peak bloom yet. If you’re dreaming of a more peaceful experience with those delicate pink petals, consider planning your visit for the quieter days just after peak season. The blossoms will still be stunning, but you’ll actually have room to breathe and take in their beauty!
Ugh, I feel you—those crowds sound brutal. Sometimes it feels less about enjoying the blossoms and more about surviving the chaos. Maybe next time I’ll aim for those post-peak days for some breathing room. Sakura season really is both magical and maddening!
Wow, those crowds sound insane! I can’t believe how early in the season it got so crazy. Planning a post-peak visit might be the only way to enjoy the cherry blossoms peacefully. Next time, I’ll aim for later in the week if this is what it’s like on a “normal” weekend.
Absolutely agree! Peak bloom attracts huge crowds, even earlier than expected this year. Weekdays or slightly after peak are great tips for a quieter experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—it’s helpful for others planning their visits!
