Hi,
would like to check with you all the experts as i only visited japan once and only in Tokyo.
this coming trip with friends will be visiting the Sakura season next year march but stuck a bit as we are planning our itinerary.
Rough plan are from Osaka to Hakone to Mt Fuji to Tokyo... so am thinking is it wise to visit Kyoto at least a day as i heard that Kyoto sakura is nicer and i really wanting to see the Kyoto castle.
If it is to choose Either Hakone or Kyoto, which will be best to spend time at?
a bit dilemma... T_T

Depends what you want to see! Kyoto has more shrines and temples and more of a cultural centre feel, while Hakone is more about the natural surroundings. Both will be busy.
P.S. By "Kyoto castle" do you mean Nijo Castle? Personally I didn't find it very impressive compared to other Japanese castles. There are other sights more worth seeing: Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Kiyomizudera, Fushimi Inari...
If you've only got one day in Kyoto, skip Nijo.

The OP wants to see Sakura, and that equates to Kyoto.
