Cruise the volcanic lake for postcard views of Mt Fuji framed by cherry petals and the red torii of Hakone Shrine.

Walk through thousands of vermilion gates tunneling up the mountain—spectacular against fresh green spring foliage.

End the day overlooking Kyoto’s sea of cherry blossoms from the famous 13-meter-high wooden veranda.

Start early among towering green bamboo stalks filtering soft spring light—an ethereal natural corridor.

See the top-coated golden temple shimmering beside its reflecting pond and cherry trees—Kyoto’s ultimate photo stop.

Feed friendly deer amid cherry petals, then stroll to Todai-ji’s Great Buddha Hall—both within the park.

Reflect at the Atomic Bomb Dome and Children’s Peace Monument surrounded by blooming cherry trees symbolizing renewal.

Take the short ferry to Miyajima Island and watch the floating red torii gate glow at dusk with cherry petals drifting on the tide.

Finish your trip exploring the towering white-and-gold castle amid cherry gardens, then sample street food in surrounding stalls.
