🌸 A practical guide to cherry blossom viewing in the mountains of Japan🌸

#Sign up for June Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Japanese Attractions #Cherry Blossoms ## Best Time to View Cherry Blossoms Mid-April to the end of April is the most beautiful time for Takayama cherry blossoms, but the flowering time varies from year to year. It is recommended to check the local flower forecast before departure~ ## Transportation 🚗 Self-driving: It takes about 3 hours to drive from Nagoya. The mountain road is very beautiful, but there are many bends, so drive carefully. There will be several rest stops on the way, where you can stop to use the toilet and take photos. 🚄 Public Transportation: It only takes 2 hours to take the Shinkansen to Takayama Station. You can walk to the city attractions from the station. If you are too lazy to walk, there are also sightseeing buses available. ## Private Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots 1️⃣ Riverside Cherry Blossom Road A secret place known only to locals! 5 minutes drive from the city A whole row of cherry trees are in full bloom along the river, with almost no tourists You can take your time to take photos without crowding 2️⃣ Takayama Park There are so many cherry trees, it is very suitable to bring a picnic mat to eat here There are fewer people in the morning, and the light is better for taking photos 3️⃣ Old Street District The quaint streets with cherry blossoms are super fu There are many traditional old houses to take pictures, and any picture looks like a postcard ## A must-see for foodies 🍴 Takayama Morning Market: Be sure to get up early to go shopping! Many local agricultural products Snacks such as Hida beef skewers and Gohei pancakes are cheap and delicious 🍜 Hidden delicacies: It is recommended to find a small shop in the alley to eat Hida beef It is cheaper and more authentic than restaurants in tourist areas ## Tips ✔️ It is still a bit cold in the mountains in April, remember to bring a jacket ✔️ If you want to take beautiful photos, it is recommended to go from 7 to 9 in the morning, the light is good and there are few people ✔️ If you drive by yourself, the parking lot is easy to be full on holidays, so you have to arrive early The cherry blossoms in the mountains are really beautiful, and there are fewer tourists than in Kyoto It is very suitable for people who want to enjoy the cherry blossoms leisurely!
