💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit in early to mid-April for peak cherry blossom season, but expect large crowds; weekday mornings are quieter. The walking paths involve steep inclines and stairs, so wear comfortable shoes and allow 2-3 hours for exploration. Most shops and tea houses are cash-only, and English signage is limited, so download offline maps beforehand.
