From famous places to hidden gems! Introducing recommended cherry blossom viewing spots in Western Japan🌸 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -① Mt. Shiude [Kagawa] 📍Ohama, Takuma-cho, Mitoyo-shi, Kagawa Prefecture🚗Personal car: Advance reservation required for date and time ¥1750/weekdays, ¥2300/weekends (per personal car)🚌Shuttle bus (weekends): [Advance reservation required] One-day unlimited pass that also goes to nearby tourist spots such as Chichibugahama Beach ¥1500/adults, ¥700/children🚕Shuttle taxi (weekdays): [Reservation by 10:00 on the day] There is no direct route from the nearest JR station to Mt. Shiude, and the only way is via other tourist spots (such as Chichibugahama Beach), so it is not suitable for those who are only interested in Mt. Shiude. ¥1800/ Chichibugahama - Shiudeyama round trip ¥1200/ JR Takuma Station - Chichibugahama round trip👟Walking: Approximately 90 minutes one way from the base to the summit💰During cherry blossom season, please donate ¥500 *A separate ticket is required to enter the mountain by car🌸Best time to see: late March to early April ✍️[Tips] There are restrictions on admission from 3/23 to 4/10 to reduce congestion! Tickets are by reservation only, so the weather and flowering conditions are unpredictable, but the good thing is that the number of people who can enter the mountain is limited, so you can enjoy the view relatively leisurely without crowds. The best time to see the cherry blossoms is usually around 3/27 to 4/4🌸Tickets for entering the mountain on weekends sell out quickly, so make sure to reserve early! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ②Tonomine Senbonzakura [Hiroshima] 📍 Mukoudanoura, Sagiura-cho, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture🚤Mihara Port - Sagi Port (13-minute boat ride) ¥710/ one-way adult🚲 ①Minato Chaya Business days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday Hours: 9:30-18:30 Fee: 500 yen per day Location: Right in front of Sagi Port, Sakishima🚲 ②JR Mihara Station Tourist Information Center Business days: Everyday Hours: 9:00-17:30 Fee: Regular bicycle 500 yen/4 hours, 1000 yen/day Electric bicycle 1000 yen/4 hours, 2000 yen/day Location: 1-1-1, Shiromachi, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture💰Free🌸 Best time to see: late March to early April ✍️【Tips】Cycling is a convenient way to get around the island🚴Before boarding the boat, you can rent a bicycle from the tourist information center at JR Mihara Station or from the bicycle rental shop on Sakijima.
