How can you avoid a large number of tourists and still see beautiful Sakura 🌸?
The following is a specific feasibility suggestion:
Welcome to Hokkaido, early ~ mid-May every year, applicable to any plan

Hokkaido’s natural climate is very different from that of other Japanese cities because it is far from the main island, and the cherry blossoms do not bloom until May, when the Sakura peak in April are completely avoided.
In addition, the people of Hokkaido are generally indifferent to cherry blossom viewing, and even in cherry Sakura spots, there are relatively few local islanders who join in the fun.
Therefore, no matter in terms of time or region, Hokkaido is a good choice for the perfect escape.
If you want to go a little deeper, stay away from Sapporo, the largest city, and go to smaller cities such as Toya or Hakodate, where you can enjoy the beautiful Sakura!

At the beginning of May every year, Japan has a golden holiday, which is usually a week-long holiday,
so please avoid the golden peak in time.

Finally, why do you recommend going to Toya Date in Hokkaido to take Sakura photos,
because in addition to Sakura, there are Japanese Garden, tea rooms, railroad crossings, and seaside …… There are so many wonderful elements of Japanese location.
