Book an original accommodation plan to enjoy the cherry blossoms exclusively

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

When you think of Kyoto in spring, you think of cherry blossom viewing. The sight of cherry blossoms shining against the quaint streets and temples and shrines is a unique feature of Kyoto. For that reason, Kyoto is bound to be crowded from late March to early April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. With so many tourists, it can be difficult to move around smoothly. With Kyoto Brighton Hotel tours, you don't have to worry about that at all, and you can enjoy the first cherry blossoms of the morning in a private setting.

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

This is a special event that allows only tour participants to enter the park early in the morning before the general public opens. You can experience the cherry blossoms in all their glory at different times, such as when they are in full bloom, when they are quietly blooming wet with morning dew, or when they are falling. There are no lines or crowds, so you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at your own pace.

We will also tell you about the history and highlights of the garden.

Another recommended point of this tour is that you can hear about the history and highlights of the garden from the temple staff. They will explain things clearly and carefully. Of course, hotel staff will accompany you and translation devices will be available, 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 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 snowstorm of cherry blossoms as they fall is also a spectacular sight. (Taizoin Temple will be open to the public until Monday, April 7, 2025.)

A famous cherry blossom spot known only to those in the know: "Haratanien"

A vast expanse of land, filled with colorful flowers including cherry blossoms, creating a world of paradise. Its beauty is so otherworldly that it is truly a "secret garden." As it is located in the mountains, a little far from the center of Kyoto city, it is safe to join a hotel tour with transportation. (The Haratanien walk will be held on Sunday, April 6th and Tuesday, April 8th, 2025.)

Please contact Kyoto Brighton Hotel for reservations.

In addition to Taizoin and Haratanien, the lineup of famous cherry blossom spots changes every spring, including Toji Temple, Daikakuji Temple, and Bishamon-do Temple. After your stay, you will depart from the hotel at around 7:00 a.m. and head to the viewing spot. After a leisurely tour of one spot, you will return to the hotel for breakfast. This popular tour has been running for about 20 years, and many repeat customers have come back, so it is well-received as a safe and secure experience.
