This breathtaking 4K walking tour, filmed on March 31, 2025, takes viewers on a serene journey through Kyoto’s most iconic cherry blossom viewing spots. Beginning at the charming stone-paved street of Nene-no-Michi (ねねの道), the video captures the early bloom of Somei Yoshino cherry trees under a clear Kyoto sky. With various trees in blossom and crowds of delighted visitors, the walk provides a relaxing yet vibrant seasonal experience in this historic city.

The route continues past the picturesque Kōdai-ji Park (高台寺公園), which offers a tranquil contrast to the buzzing tourist areas. This park, known for its proximity to the well-loved Kodai-ji Temple, is a quiet gem during cherry blossom season. As the walk resumes along Nene-no-Michi, viewers enjoy more angles of the traditional architecture, quaint shops, and cultural ambiance that make this area so beloved.

The tour culminates in the flourishing natural beauty of Maruyama Park (円山公園), another top cherry blossom hotspot in Kyoto. This park is especially famous for its central weeping cherry tree (Shidarezakura), which draws locals and tourists alike when it bursts into full pink bloom. The peaceful background audio and slow, immersive pace make this video perfect for relaxation and virtual sightseeing.

This walk is ideal for those who love Japanese culture, nature, and exploring historical areas on foot. Whether you're planning your own hanami adventure or just want to soak in Kyoto’s beauty from home, this video is a soothing and inspiring way to enjoy sakura season.
