Reply To: Tokyo vs Kyoto for Hanami, Japanese Theater, and Geisha
-
Excellent points by Justin.
If your main focus is hanami, you can find it in any city. However, I would say Kyoto is more pink than Tokyo.
Also, as Justin mentioned, it is a bit harder to get around. I would add that Kyoto is in a valley surrounded by hills making some areas rather hilly. Tokyo is much flatter.
However, I think there are ways to overcome the different challenges that come up (and we are here to help!), so I think it is best to chose a place you want to see and try to work through the challenges.
