A Week in Kyoto: Cherry Blossoms & Ancient Temples

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.
