Sakura Reflections: A Tranquil Cruise Through Fushimi’s Blossoms

#cherryblossom25 Glide through Kyoto’s historic Fushimi district aboard a traditional Jikkokubune boat during cherry blossom season. From late March to early April, the canal transforms into a tunnel of pink petals, with over 250 cherry trees lining the 1.4 km route. The gentle sway of the boat, combined with the soft rustle of blossoms and the occasional flutter of petals onto the water, creates a serene and immersive hanami experience. This 55-minute journey not only offers picturesque views but also a glimpse into Fushimi’s rich history as a sake brewing hub. For those seeking a peaceful and culturally rich cherry blossom viewing, the Fushimi Jikkokubune cruise is a must.
