Which place in Japan is more "classic"?

Question:


A place where everyone wears kimono and yukata
Where you can stare at sakura blossom
Where people still live within the spirit of Edo period

Answer:


Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan. You can only see sakura during a couple weeks, usually in April/May, though, as they only blossom at that time and fall off the trees soon after. This period is called Hanami (flower viewing). The best time to see people in Yukata, though, is probably during the summer festivals. A lot of people walk around in Yukata during that time
