The vlogger notes that despite the beauty of rainy-day hanami, wearing proper footwear such as rain shoes is essential when exploring in such conditions.

On the return trip, the vlogger captures more scenes of the drenched sakura, bringing home the fleeting and poetic nature of Japan's cherry blossom season. This video offers not only a beautiful visual tour of Kawazu's cherry blossoms but also a glimpse into the charm of sightseeing in Japan during unexpected weather changes.
