Spring in Hakone is truly a beautiful time. In April, you get to enjoy hanami and wisteria to follow until May. 📍@hakonegardens These gardens are located in Saratoga, just an hour south of San Francisco. You definitely don’t want to miss this beautiful season in Hakone. Tips for your visit: 🌸 The Hakone Gardens is offering a night hanami to guests from March 20 to April 12, where you can see the beautiful cherry blossoms lit by neon in the dark. It lasts from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. It’s a unique experience, but I prefer the delicate look of the garden in the morning. 🌸 The Gardens get quite crowded during cherry blossom season, so I’d recommend coming early in the morning before the bustle of noon. 🌸 Bring your comfiest flats or shoes to walk up the stairs and bumpy pathways. 📅 Open 7 days a week ⏰ 10 AM - 5 PM (11 AM - 5 pm on Weekends), Night Hanami from 6 PM - 9:30 PM 💵 $12 for regular adult visits, $17 for Night Hanami 📍 Hakone Estate and Gardens #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoworld
