Before I point out the spots for sakura viewing, I just want to point out that the Keihan Railway (a train that runs between Osaka and Kyoto and Shiga) has a rather accurate and easy to read map along their train routes of when Ume (plum trees) and Sakura are at its peak.
They usually post these maps at all their main and high traffic Keihan stations, but you can also view them on their specially curated page on places to visit for sakura:
And this is the sakura map that will be updated once March & April hits:

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kansai & Beyond 💻
Available for hire
Hello! 👋 I'm Jenny and I lived in Osaka, Japan (the Kansai area) for 10 years. I've traveled to all 47 prefectures in Japan since 2019, and I've got plenty of tips & tricks on my blog website http://kansaibeyond.com on how to travel.
I would love to share my travels of the Kansai area, Japan and beyond with all of you.
My travel style: I'm a solo female traveller with experience driving around Japan, but can also give you tons of tips of using public transport. My friends and my partner tags along on my travels plans too! I love hot springs ♨️, and travelling to off the beaten path areas in Japan with a car.
Important things when travelling in Japan for me:
Food 🍝, cafes 🍵, castles 🏯, temples ⛩️, hot springs ♨️ and nice brisk hikes wherever possible. A bonus if we catch some 🌸cherry blossoms and 🍁 fall colours too!
Also a seasoned Pokemon manhole hunter, anime enthusiast and concert goer so ask me about those too!
