[Kyoto x Cherry Blossoms] We recommend taking a stroll after 10pm to avoid the crowds📸🌙 *Photo spots & iPhone photos included

It is no exaggeration to say that Shimizu is the busiest area in Kyoto! I want to take photos, but there are so many people that it's hard to get a good shot... But I also want to take photos when there are no people around📸 For those people, I recommend taking a walk in the middle of the night🌃 Even though it's the middle of the night, it's not like 2:00 AM or anything like that! The photos I posted were taken around 10:00 PM🌙 After 10:00 PM, the shop lights are off and it's not very bright, but the street lights are on💡 You can take photos with just those lights📸 [iPhone photography tips] -------- If you have a decent camera, you can definitely take beautiful photos, but you can also take photos of the same quality as the posted image with an iPhone📱 If you use the iPhone's night mode, you can take photos like the one in the image by setting it to "3 seconds" with just the light from the street lights✨ The trick is to "hold your armpits and hold your breath while taking the photo"! It's important to hold your breath, and since breathing alone will shake your smartphone, you need to minimize that shaking⚠️ That way, you can take pictures without a tripod. It takes some getting used to, but please try it! You can finish the photo with the editing function on your iPhone without using any apps! [Recommended route from Kodaiji Temple] If you go here at night, I recommend "after seeing the Kodaiji Temple illumination"! That's because the Kodaiji Temple illumination is on until 22:00, so it's best to see Kodaiji Temple last and then go after that! The illumination of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is until 21:30, but although it's a bit of a hassle, it's best to go "Kiyomizu-dera Temple → Kodaiji Temple → Kiyomizu Area"🙆 There is an overwhelming difference in the number of people if you go here after Kiyomizu-dera Temple or after Kodaiji Temple! -- That's all! What do you think? It will be late at night, but since this is a rare opportunity, please try to take some night photos away from the crowds! ⚠️The above content does not guarantee that you will be able to avoid the crowds. It is based on actual experience, but as mentioned above, it may not work out. Thank you for your understanding.🙇 I have posted tips on how to see cherry blossoms in Kyoto during the day and at night!
