Kyoto Campus Cherry Blossom Guide: Encounter the Dreamy Pink of the Ancient Capital

Cherry blossoms in Kyoto's campuses bloom in spring, filling the grounds with romance. • Kyoto University (Yoshida Campus): The best viewing period is from March 25 to April 5. Visit the Philosopher's Path outside the south gate of Yoshida Campus before 7 AM to avoid crowds. The cherry blossoms lining the path create a pink tunnel-like atmosphere. At the Yoshida Shrine approach, where the campus meets the shrine, falling cherry blossoms resemble scenes from anime, making it a perfect spot for photography. • Other campuses: Although detailed information about other campuses is not provided, Kyoto, as an ancient capital, has many campuses with cherry blossoms. You can check the official websites of campuses or consult local tourism centers in advance to learn about the blooming periods and access conditions. Before heading out, pay attention to the weather and wear comfortable shoes and socks. Some campuses may have specific regulations, so be sure to follow the rules and enjoy cherry blossom viewing responsibly.
