Kyoto's cherry blossom season is something everyone should visit at least once.

When you think of spring in Kyoto, you think of cherry blossom viewing. The sight of the cherry blossoms shining against the quaint streets and temples and shrines is a sight unique to Kyoto. That's why Kyoto is inevitably crowded from late March to early April, when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. With so many tourists, it can be difficult to move around smoothly. With a tour from Kyoto Brighton Hotel, you won't have to worry about that at all, as you can enjoy the best cherry blossoms in a private setting.

Rent out famous cherry blossom viewing spots, famous temples, shrines, and gardens for yourself.

This special tour is held early in the morning before the temple gates open to the public, allowing only those participating in the tour to enter the temple and gardens. You can experience the cherry blossoms in all their different forms, from full bloom to the quiet blossoms wet with morning dew, and the petals gently falling. There are no lines or crowds, so you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at your own pace.

Learning about the history and highlights of the garden.

Another great thing about this tour is that you can hear about the history and highlights of the garden from the temple. They will explain things clearly and carefully. Hotel staff will also accompany you, so you can participate with peace of mind.

Taizoin Temple's weeping cherry blossoms look like a shower of cherry blossoms

Taizoin Temple is attractive for its tranquil Zen temple atmosphere and its gardens rich in nature. Once you pass through the gate, you will be greeted by a magnificent weeping cherry tree. The contrast between the magnificent shower of cherry blossoms and the rock garden is breathtakingly beautiful. The blizzard of cherry blossoms as they fall is also a spectacular sight. *Taizoin Temple tour will be held on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

Haradanien, a famous cherry blossom spot known only to those in the know

The vast grounds are a paradise of cherry blossoms and other colorful flowers in full bloom. Its beauty is so otherworldly that it is truly a "secret garden." As it is located in the mountains, a little far from Kyoto city center, it is safer to join a hotel tour with transportation included. *Haradanien garden tour will be held on Wednesday, April 8th and Friday, April 10th, 2026.

Please contact Kyoto Brighton Hotel for reservations.

In addition to Taizoin and Haradanien, the tour includes famous cherry blossom viewing spots such as Toji Temple, Daikakuji Temple, and Bishamon-do Temple, with a different lineup every spring. The tour departs from the hotel around 7:00 the morning after your stay and heads to the viewing and strolling area. After a leisurely tour of one spot, you'll return to the hotel for breakfast. This popular tour has been running for around 25 years, and many repeat customers have praised it for its safety and peace of mind.
