BTW, the Japan Meteorological Agency is predicting that the cherry blossoms in Kyoto will start blooming around 26 March, a bit later than in the average year, which is not too surprising considering that there was ligt snow in Kyoto today.

Well I arrive the 29th and will be there until the 6th so that would be perfect.

That will probably be a bit late for most, but there are numerous late-blooming locations. The concierge will know.
And of course it depends a lot on the rain. Once the blossoms are past their peak, the next heavy rain takes a big toll.

Also, depending on who your 3 adults are, you might want to be aware that there's a bit of lack of privacy for the bathroom due to the absence of a door to the vanity area. You can see the floorplan for the Deluxe King (the Deluxe Twin is the same but with 2 twin beds) here:

Plus there seems to be a ¥5000 upcharge for a 3rd adult. If it were me, I would get 2 standard rooms rather than squeeze into a Deluxe. Or alternately get a Balcony Twin, which has 2 full size beds.

For anyone interested, the current prediction, as of yesterday, for the cherry blossoms in Kyoto is blossoms opening 25 March, full bloom 2 April, ideal viewing 1-8 April.
We were there again this past Sat, and the hotel was packed with events, including graduation parties for the nearby women's college.

If just one more night would open up in the next few weeks I would be even happier.
You are probably there at an even better time this year.

I am currently at the hotel and, as I booked online, asked for the Y3000 dining coupon. The desk clerk said it was no longer on offer, that instead we would get a 10% discount at the restaurants, which of course isn't close to being as good.
However, she also said that the Y3000 coupon would return in April; i.e., sometime next month. If so, be sure to ask, it is a great deal!
