I went there and it was awesome, Cherry Blossom season, wish I could go back.

[@DaphneXplores]

Cherry blossom season must be amazing to see in Japan!

[@emlnemdn]

How was this as a female solo traveller? Was there too many tourists or an okay balance? Beautiful vlog btw!

[@DaphneXplores]

It was totally fine as a female solo traveller! There were more tourists than I had initially expected but also relatively not too bad compared to other places in Japan where it can truly get overcrowded.
