Avoid the crowds 🌸 Nagoya's hidden gem for cherry blossom viewing - Shoryu-dori.

Introducing a great place in Japan for cherry blossom viewing during off-peak season: Nagoya and Shoryu-dori. Recommendation reason 1: The scenic spot is less popular, avoiding crowded tourist attractions. Recommendation reason 2: The cherry blossoms bloom late at high altitude, about 1-2 weeks later than Kyoto, making it suitable for off-peak travel. 🔅Nagoya is a big city in the central part of Japan, but there are relatively few scenic spots. Many tour groups will only visit or pass by here; in fact, Nagoya itself is a famous historical city (the castle tower with cherry blossoms is no worse than Tsutenkaku), and it is also a tourist route in the central part. The starting point of the road, along the road are Takayama Furukawa (the location where your name was filmed), Baichuan Township (the location when the cicadas cried), Kanazawa (Little Kyoto) If you have a budget of 3 days, you can walk through Shirakawa Township; budget 5-7 day can continue to go north 🔅This line can go to cherry blossoms and hot springs in April. If you are lucky, you can see the snow scenery; if you are lucky, you can see the cherry blossoms under the snow-capped mountains (Shirakawa Township is high in altitude and you can see the snow-capped mountains) 🌸There is a direct bus from Nagoya to Shirakawa Township. It takes three hours by car, you can go back and forth on the same day or you can choose to stay for one night 🔅I booked a B&B in Baichuan Village at that time, which is the real gassho house (the gassho building here is a world cultural heritage). It is the original grass-roof house and heating system), the advantage is that you can go to the viewing platform to see the night view (the latest bus departs before sunset, you can’t see the night view), and you can watch the sunrise during the day; we were lucky to see the snow scene, and the owner of the homestay also Will introduce a lot of folklore knowledge and teach us local musical instruments (but all in Japanese) 🔅 Most of the accommodation in Shirakawa Township of the tour group is in a hotel a few kilometers away from the village. The conditions are much better, but you can’t see the night view. I came here after watching the ancient horror anime "When the Chilling Cries". I was scared when I checked in at the shrine at night [JoyTears] There is a hot spring in the village that closes after 10 o'clock, and there are few people and it is almost reserved (because the guests are only tourists who live in the village). It is the most primitive and comfortable hot spring I have ever soaked in! 🔅Shirakawa Township also has a direct bus to Takayama. There are scenic spots such as Miyagawa Morning Market, Takayama Jinya, and Takayama Shrine. Take JR to Takayama Furukawa Station, which is the filming location of "Your Name" 🔅JR continues northwards to Kanazawa. There are Kenrokuen, a famous cherry blossom viewing garden, Kanazawa Museum of Art, etc., and there are gold leaf delicacies to eat. It is a very prosperous and western city 🔅 You can buy a pass for the entire Sholongdo itinerary. There are bus, JR, bus + JR options. It is a relatively small and rich route with high cost performance
