GPS art of cherry blossoms drawn in the historical Temple✨
GPS art of cherry blossoms at Kita-in Temple, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Kawagoe City, Saitama Pref.
Kita-in Temple is a famous temple of the Tendai sect of Buddhism, and is a historical temple that retains a strong sense of Edo period culture. Many cherry trees are planted in the precincts of the temple, providing a beautiful view of flowers in spring. The contrast between the vermilion color of the pagoda and the cherry blossoms is especially beautiful and attracts many visitors. The cherry blossoms on the temple grounds are mainly Someiyoshino cherry trees, but weeping cherry trees can also be seen, and when they are in full bloom, the temple is enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere.
The cherry blossom season is usually from late March to early April. It is a GPS art where you can enjoy the scenery of the historical cityscape and cherry blossoms. Please give it a try when you visit Kawagoe🌸
