Uppy Thingy

Explanation

Uppy Thingy is a minor platforming trick used in NG to reach the Sunrise/Konohana observation platform in Kamiki. Rather than running around the hill, wall jumps are used to scale the scaffolding under the platform. This saves about 8 seconds when getting Sunrise and Water Lily.

Other Methods

Double Jump Method

In NG+ All Brushes you reach Uppy Thingy with double jump allowing you to do the trick from the other side of the Platform. This also makes getting on each different beam a lot easier. For the final double jump you can center the camera behind you then zoom out and back in your camera will be nicely set up for blooming the 4 trees.
