Woke up at 4:00 AM to capture the ambiance of cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan, which is the ceiling of atmosphere
Some say 'Kyoto is in Japan, but the real Japan is in Kyoto.'
There are many cherry blossoms in Japan, either in clusters or a particularly large one in a courtyard style.
And the most famous among them is the century-old cherry tree at Sanneizaka in Kyoto.
To shoot the blue hour cherry blossom scene, one must wake up early, get up at 4 AM and arrive by 5 AM.
There are hardly any people shooting, most are around Yasaka Pagoda.
The beauty is visible to the naked eye, live photos straight out.
By 6 AM, it starts to get crowded, and by 6:30, it's practically overflowing.
(Kyoto is really competitive! 😭 Many people might not even be up by 6:30!)

◽️Tips:
☑️ Ninenzaka Sannenzaka, Yasaka Tower Kiyomizu-dera, are unique street landscapes of Kyoto.
The shops along the street and the visitors wearing kimonos make you feel as if you've traveled back to the shogunate era.
☑️ The sightseeing route I recommend is along the way, and if you want to see cherry blossoms, you can also go to Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kamo River, which are both in full bloom right now.
☑️Kyoto's cherry blossom season is very crowded, so it's advised to go out early and return early for a much better experience.
Kyoto's Ohaka Shrine covers a large area. In a broad scale, it covers some small roads around branches and forks. There are many small shrines distributed, including large forests and lawns around, as well as many small restaurants, coffee shops and various snacks. Handicraft shops. Open 24 hours, another lively scene at night. This is not only a must-check-in place for tourists from all over the world, but also a place for local residents to take a leisure walk. At noon, there are a group of students, with lunch boxes on the grass, and noisy. The first time I came here was six years ago, and it didn't change at all, and I will definitely come again!
Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Yasaka Shrine is not far from the hotel where you live, and you can walk. Sometimes you pass by when you go to other attractions in the morning, and pass by when you return at night. You wear a kimono that day and go to Yasaka Shrine to make a card. The different scenes of the Yasser Shrine during the day and night are appreciated. The scenery is charming and beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, and the lanterns that light up in the shrine are particularly solemn and quiet under the dusk. Different scenery, completely different feelings. The Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto is relatively large and holds a Gion sacrifice every year.
