By The Trip Window

Kyoto during cherry blossom season is pure magic. The ancient capital of Japan transforms into a pink wonderland, and every corner reveals a new postcard-perfect scene.
Day 1: Arashiyama District
Start with the iconic bamboo grove early in the morning, then explore Tenryu-ji Temple and cross the Togetsukyo Bridge.
Day 2: Fushimi Inari
The famous thousand torii gates are best experienced at sunrise when the crowds haven't arrived yet.
