The Cherry Blossom Path of Kawazu Cherry Trees! Few People, Beautiful Scenery 🌸

#cherryblossom25 Yesterday, while walking towards the Kawazu Cherry Trees from Yodo Station, I unexpectedly passed by this hidden cherry blossom path! Compared to the shorter Kawazu cherry trees along the river, the trees here are taller and the flowers are denser! And best of all, it's not crowded! 🌸✨ Location: Yodo Kawazu Sakura (New Year’s Cherry Blossoms) Check out the specific location and route in images 16–18. Photography Tips: Low-angle shots: Squat down and angle your phone low, shooting upwards with the blue sky and cherry blossoms in the background. This will highlight the tall trees and the clear sky, while also avoiding tourists in your frame. Use the foreground: Focus on a cherry blossom branch in the foreground and blur the background to create a dreamy atmosphere. This adds depth to the photo and makes your subject stand out. Capture candid moments: Walk around, spin, or casually move along the path, letting a friend take candid shots. These spontaneous moments feel more natural and full of stories than staged poses. Use a telephoto lens: Great for capturing wide landscapes or close-up shots, helping you highlight the details of the flowers. One-Day Cherry Blossom Viewing Route: If you’re short on time, aim to reach your first stop by 8 AM, but if you're short on energy, you can split the tour over two days. Yodo River Kawazu Cherry Blossoms (1-2 hours): The cherry trees here are tall with dense flowers, making it perfect for photos. Ideal for portrait shots and scenic captures. Sekiryo Slope (2 hours): The cherry blossoms haven’t fully bloomed yet, but you can check my previous notes for the current situation. Once fully bloomed, it’s perfect for a picnic and enjoying the sakura in a relaxed setting. Fushimi Ishijo Funakoshi (1 hour): Not yet open, but you can look forward to it once the blossoms bloom. If you're planning to enjoy sakura from a boat, it will take more time. 🚤 Daigo-ji Temple (2 hours): The blossoms here are about 70–80% open, and the scenery is already beautiful. If you're keen on seeing the sakura, it’s time to go! Oishi Shrine (1 hour): The blossoms here are about halfway open. The blue hour and night sakura are especially stunning here! 🌙🌸 #travel
