Kyoto's Cherry Blossom Beauty: A 4-Hour Sakura Stroll

Throughout the 4-hour tour, you'll encounter stunning cherry blossoms and hidden gems, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city at some of Kyoto's secret sakura spots, often overlooked by tourists.

First, we'll explore the Imperial Palace grounds, admiring the remains of an imperial residential palace (Kan-in no Miya) and the weeping cherry trees that adorned the Konoe's residential palace just outside the inner palace walls. Next, we'll wander through the quiet Doshisha University campus, admiring its beautiful architecture before we encounter a Dragon! At Shokoku-ji feel the Dragons gaze upon you as you move around the temple and learn the secret to making it roar. After your dragon encounter, you will have a chance to stroll through a local shopping street, bustling with locals and free from tourist crowds where you can grab a tea or coffee to go along with a sweet or snack from one of the many little shops. Finally, we'll cross the iconic Kamo River and admire a magnificent shrine nestled in an ancient forest (Shimogamo Shrine)
