Takenaka Inari Shrine Cherry Blossoms– Kyoto’s Best-Kept Secret Tunnel

#cherryblossom25 Hidden in Fushimi’s sake district, this compact shrine stuns visitors with its 30m sakura tunnel—a vibrant corridor of 50+ weeping cherry trees (shidarezakura) that bloom 1 week earlier than Kyoto’s famous spots. Unlike the crowded Philosopher’s Path, here you’ll have the pink archway nearly to yourself, save for the occasional sake brewery worker paying respects.
