Thank you for actually going out and filming, instead of being in a room talking about things.

Night time in Kyoto does look very special.

Thanks to this video, me and my friend found out and went to the Hirano Shrine at night. We got the Sakura beer and showed them they were on KZread now. They remembered Seera-san! Very fun people and pretty Sakura.

This was filmed in the most friend based way! I just toured this area with my best friend…😊 Thank you.

The other Japan vloggers make me wanna visit. Sarah has a knack of making me feel like I've already been there

This is an amazing timed video, my family arrived in Kyoto from Melbourne on Friday! Thanks so much for all the great recommendations, your videos have been a great source of information and inspiration for our holiday! 🙏🌸

28:20 cant stop laughing when You pulled out the original Mohnbrötchen and a Bretzel, sitting down to enjoy the cherry blossoms at a remote spot in Kyoto :D This was a nice video, I really enjoyed watching. My journey to Japan 2024 starts soon, but it takes me to the north. If I return to Kyoto one day I may visit the more quiet places. Thank You for sharing!

I went to Gosho last Saturday with my family and got the ice cream in Sasaya Iori!

From this old boy from Perth Down-Under ; Awesome video vlog 10/04/2024

I think you're going to have to do a special video about your favourite breads, because there seems to be a running theme with you and bread products, haha. The first time I had shokupan, my life was forever changed, so I get it.

The park with the mustard flowers and cherry blossoms reminds me of my hometown in California. Picnicking there with the food trucks would be fun, it looks so chill.

During the years I lived in Japan I always went to Kyoto during Sakura season. But, in my opinion, even better than Kyoto is Hikone-shi, just a 50 minute train ride northeast on the Biwako line. They have an original castle with 2 moats and INCREDIBLE Sakura along the moats and stone walls. With black and white swans in the moats. MUCH less crowded than the kyoto spots and they bloom a week or two after Kyoto's so visiting is a great way to prolong the season. Go behind the castle, between the moat and Jr high school for a very quiet experience. They also do a light up at night and when the air is still the Sakura reflects in the moat.

I just got to Kyoto a couple of days ago. I’ve appreciated Sakura at Imperial Palace and those throughout the city but the Hirano Shrine atmosphere looks incredible. Hopefully I can go during these upcoming days.

Thanks for another video. You're part of my Japan trip prep

Fun fact: Hall & Oates wrote the song "Sara Smile" for Seerasan. 🎶

There is a quiet respectful confidence in the way you share public places with us. Given the news of entitled influencers in Japan, I want to thank you for being a shining example of what respectful behavior looks like in Japan as a content creator. Keep shining, Sarah❤

Sakura is also the name of the square oil pastels I used to get but no one in Australia has them any more. I knew I should have gotten the wooden box.

so many beautiful views

I love Kyoto. I stay away from the crowded tourist areas , don't get me wrong those areas are great just too crowded unless you go early before everything is open or in the late evening after everything is closed or closing

Can't wait to check out these cherry blossoms next spring. Great content!

I'd like to visit the wagashi shop as my surname is 伊織. 😊

Hi Seera/Sarah Thank you to upload such a nice blooming information. I never imagine such a beautiful place in Kyoto. Tokyo has a so many cherry view places, though all place are so crowdy. Also, your tour called friendly people. That make me really enjoy to watch your video. Send my cheer. Please keep guiding Kyoto.

Somethings cannot be Searched for , only Discovered . " when it's Fate , there is no coincidence ". the Season of Cherry Blossom is the Time of Dreams , the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious , the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals , is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " , catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish

Seera has become the final word on Sakura Season & viewing imho 🎉

Thank You for showing us your Sakura Adventure! :)

Love this video so much, I might put it on a loop and let it play all day long while I'm unboxing all the boxes from my previous address.

Love your videos showcasing the beauty of Japan. Love visiting there. Would move there if I could.

I'd like to visit Gion and its vicinity just for the chance to encounter and admire maiko and geisha. But there are so many nice places in Kyoto. Your shot at 17:21 is just so beautiful. Thank you.

I had planned to go to Japan autumn 2025, but now it looks like it will be SPRING = SAKURA season after all. Yay, playing close attention to your videos, and collecting lots of ideas. Thanks.

I have 6 dogs and 10 cats. I wonder if I could more than one pet charm if I stopped there and told them. I also work at Petsmart and we support adoption events.

Precautions Do not break branches of cherry trees. Cherry trees are susceptible to bacterial infection from wounds if damaged. Some facilities prohibit visitors from touching cherry trees. (This is because there have been a series of cases of spectators breaking branches or climbing trees and damaging the trunks.)

Thank you for the perfect tour! I can't wait to visit someday.

This is the most beautiful Sakura 🌸 video I've ever seen 😻. The night viewing was so gorgeous 🥰🌸. Thank you so much Sarah 🌸🫶

When I was a kid, my parents took me to Zouheikyoku (造幣局) in Osaka. One of the most magnificent spots for Hanami for sure. There is another spot you can try... it's between Osaka and Nara off of Route 163, called Iimorireien (飯盛霊園). It's a cemetery, but they have many sakura for good hanami spots.

Thank you for another wonderful trip to Kyoto. I was there this time last year. Missing my friends and Japan right now. This helps! 😊 Take care!

I'll be there in 2 weeks. Hoping it is still blooming. Awesome video.

I'm devvo, we missed the Sakura blooms by like a week! We got Sapporo the day Tokyo bloomed, and small part of me was like... Seera-san did that trip in what, 8 hours? ... Maybe worth?

(1) Suppression of emotions (2) Isolation and loneliness (3) Diverse annual events and hobbies The trinity of Japanese culture In order to adapt to Japanese life, it is important to participate in annual events and hobby circles. Traveling is a typical hobby activity. Hobbies that are now becoming popular among immigrants from the West are motorcycling, cycling, and scuba diving. Scuba diving is also popular among Japanese people in connection with seaweed regeneration activities.

Great videos of Sakura areas around Kyoto! We left Osaka March 29th. We visited Kyoto on the 27th. All the tourist areas were simply overcrowded! We bought an all day bus pass. Road the bus 2 times only, took a taxis back to the train station. Took way too long. Had a great time there.

@seerasan

Ай бұрын

Riding the buses is always a bad idea in Kyoto, unfortunately 😢 Rental bikes are the way to go! Or taxis (and trains when you can)

Thanks for sharing this video on Kyoto's best hanami spots! 🌸

Sara your videos are always so fire!! Your editing skills are phenomenal and the footage you take just puts us right in the spot. Keep killing it!!

Whenever I think about wanting to visit Japan, it's during the Sakura season I really would like to visit. But as someone who REALLY isn't a fan of crowds, I've always been worried that an already crowded Japan seems to get even worse during this time of the year so it's great to see that even if some of the places you visited was obviously crowded there was also some quieter places to enjoy the Sakura.

@Spread_Hope_Like_Fire

Ай бұрын

It's worth noting that crowds in Japan are different than crowds in other places in my experience. I'm not a fan of crowds but people are so polite there it's really not stressful like, say, crowded places in America are✌️

I dont think I ever comment on your videos, I like how you show things in a chill way with your aussie accent!

Looks so magical with all those sakuras, I need some tea or coffee with a view of those sakuras looks so chill

I suggest you call somei-yoshino(染井吉野) cherry in stead of yoshino cherry tree. The name of YoshIno(吉野) has nothing to do with Mt Yoshino(吉野山) of Nara Pref. , where cherry blossoms so famous throughout the mountain. Therefore, the naming of Yoshino cherry would be confused with the cherry blossoms in Mt Yoshino. Somei-yoshino is a hybrid of Edohigan(江戸彼岸) cherry and Oshima-sakura(大島桜) cherry, cross-bred in Edo period. Thereafter, they are planted all over Japan and now become the most popular bred.

Beautiful backdrop of every moment, with Flawless Seera in the foreground

Thats the dream scenario, doing everything in this video with Sarah! ♥♥♥

It seems I was there a few days before you, otherwise I would’ve loved to have taken up your suggestions. We visited the Torji temple at night and it was beautiful but also a little crowded! 🌸

I've never been during moiji season, but nanzenji located nearby is a great autumn spot so that makes sense!

I've been to several of these locations. Very nostalgic for me. I'm surprised you didn't cover Kiyomizu-dera on this trip. It's good for both daytime and nighttime blossom viewing, but their light-up at night is really beautiful. They also do a light-up for maple leaves in the autumn. It is pretty crowded, though. The places you went seemed to have a reasonably comfortable crowd level. I love that weeping cherry tree at Maruyama Park. I've been there several times, both during and outside of cherry blossom season. If I understand correctly, even though the Emperor now resides in Tokyo, the Imperial Palace in Kyoto is still one of the Imperial residences and is ready to receive him whenever he wishes to visit Kyoto. My wife and I got married during cherry blossom season in a Shinto ceremony at Nashinoki-Jinja, just off the Imperial Palace grounds. It's a beautiful little rustic Shinto shrine. It was early April and the cherry trees were in peak bloom. We couldn't have asked for better conditions! I hope you come back to Kyoto for the Obon festival with the burning Daimonji on the mountainside. It's so beautiful! The music selections for today's video were so good! I'd love to know what it was.

One tip I have is don't rent a kimono. Tons of places have popped up with vintage kimono for sale. From what I've seen you could buy one for about the same price or possibly less that renting one. And you will have a really cool souvenir.

I do agree about grabbing a vintage one as a souvenir! The only thing is it's hard to properly dress yourself in a kimono without someone helping you (at least I can't do it yet! ahha)

Thanks for visiting Hirano Shrine. I stumbled upon the shrine when I grabbed a taxi from Tenryuji to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. I asked the driver for recommendations for hanami and he pointed to the shrine's entrance as we passed by. There wasn't a fee then (2019?) and the place was packed. There were picnic tables and restaurants (no food trucks) set up in the back. It was way more crazy and had a fun vibe. It wasn't as crowded as Maruyama Park though.

I used to live in Kyoto for seven years. I love where you got around as well! It's a beautiful vibe and where you can feel leisurely slow time!!
