The temple grounds can be seen from 7:33 in the video.
Kiyomizudera also offers a special nighttime viewing that is truly fantastic.
The Gion Shirakawa Sakura Light-up is held at Gion Tatsumi Bridge in the Instagrammable Gion Shirakawa area, where approximately 40 weeping cherry trees are beautifully illuminated.
There are many teahouses in the area, and you may be able to meet maiko and geisha while strolling around.
If you want to enjoy a different experience during the cherry blossom season, check out the "Cherry Blossom Viewing Tea Ceremony" at Heian Jingu Shrine’s garden, featured at 6:15 in the video, or the Gagaku performance at the "Beni Shidare Concert."
Okazaki Canal and Lake Biwa Canal in the vicinity, shown at 4:46, are also popular cherry blossoms viewing spots that are great for taking Instagram photos.
Also consider checking out the "Flower Corridor" on the Kamo Riverbank between Shichijo Bridge (七条大橋) and Sanjo Bridge (三条大橋), as well as Kamo River Park in Kamogawa, and Nakaragi no Michi between Kitayama Bridge (北山大橋) and Kitaoji Bridge (北大路橋).
