Known as the Venice of Japan, Hachimanbori is also charming during the cherry blossom season. Let’s embark on the anticipated cherry blossom journey together. Our Departure Point is at 8:30am at Nihonbashi Exit 2 (Namba Shinsaibashi area) or at 9:50am at the Kyoto Hachijoguchi Bus loading area. ▼Hachiman CityYawata City in Japan is known as the Venice of Japan. The source of Japanese commerce is a man-made canal that connects the town to Lake Biwa. Today, when walking around the town, you can still see some traditional Japanese buildings from the Edo period. Being in the countryside is like traveling through time, and the town is often used as a filming location for Japanese period dramas.Among the Eight Views of Lake Biwa, the Japanese Hachiman represents the scenery of spring. On the river, you can row a boat to admire the reeds, river water and cherry blossoms blooming on the shore, which fully demonstrates the gentleness of the water town. ▼Introduction to Hachimangu ShrineYinkai Hachimangu Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Shiga Prefecture, with a history of 1,500 years. It is also a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. It is precisely because of the faith of local merchants that Hikyu Hachimangu Shrine has become more and more prosperous. This is where you can sincerely express your best wishes. ▼Hikone CastleThe castle tower was built by the rulers over nearly 20 years after the Battle of Sekidaihara in 1600. It is designated as a national treasure city, one of only five in the country. The ancient castle contains many important national cultural properties that are equivalent to national treasures.Cherry blossoms in spring, green mountains in early summer, red leaves in late autumn, and light snow in winter, you can enjoy the distinctive local customs all year round. In the cherry blossom season, the new pink cherry blossoms blend perfectly with the white walls and black tiles. After the trip, return to the designated location in Osaka or Kyoto.
