Wow, what a breathtaking view. It really does look just like a mirror, it's incredible how perfect the reflection is. I really love the green as well, it's such a brilliant shade it really gives you the feeling of the rich, verdant countryside. I've had a love of rice fields since before I can remember, just because they look so beautiful and you can really appreciate the technology of humankind through them. I've never seen the rice fields in Kyoto to be honest, only the temples and shrines, which isn't exactly unfortunate, but I would really like to get out into the countryside as well. This reminds me so much of Akita as well and I only have fond memories of my time there. Going to have to throw the rice fields of Kyoto on my list for my next visit. On a bit of a tangent, it's pretty amazing you can take photos like this on cell phones now. Incredible how far we've come.

コロナ前に行った春の清水寺で取った1枚です。あそこからの京都を一望できる景色はもう1度見に行きたいです！

Such a picturesque rock garden, I can't even imagine how relaxing it would be to just sit down somewhere nice in the garden on a quiet day and enjoy lunch or some tea. Mibudera is another temple I need to add to my list for the next time I visit Kyoto I suppose. I wonder if there are any koi in the pond at all. I never knew that this temple was the headquarters of the Shinsengumi either, that's some pretty cool history. I guess that explains why they have such a nice rock garden though. I'd like to explore this place a bit, I guess there's a graveyard dedicated to members of the Shinsengumi here as well. Sounds like a really interesting place to visit. Of course it's Kyoto too, so that's to be expected

What an awesome gate. I can't remember if it's the same place, but I think I went here a few years ago, I went to several different areas and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. Either way, if I did go I'm certain I wasn't able to climb the stairs of the gate. I'd love to see the inside of it though. I guess it was built a little more than 200 years ago according to an article I was looking at. Also there are two statues of Nio on the other side, so I'm almost certain this was the place I visited, although I wasn't able to go to the main temple as it was getting late I believe. I'll have to go back to see it. I always hear how cool Setagaya is anyways and I never get a chance to go out there. Golden Week plans maybe?

長徳寺のおかめ桜が散って、花びらでピンク色に染まった地面の様子は見応えあり

What an interesting photo... I don't usually associate the buddha with being cute, but this one deserves an exception I suppose lol. Something about the way he's standing and just saying "hey" is really intriguing. It's a really interesting decoration for a chozuya as well. I can't read cursive to save my life, but I think it says something about the Amitabha Buddha? I can only make out the first character and I think it's a longer sutra maybe. Anyways, I've never been to Taisho Temple, it looks like it has a lot of interesting history to enjoy though. It looks like it'd be a nice play to go on a slightly warm day when the cherry blossoms are out, just like in this photo.

とあるお寺の春の風景です。静かな境内に咲く満開の桜です。

Wow, this is so cool. It's crazy that the ground is so shiny here that you can see the cherry blossoms reflecting off the ground. This temple seems like it'd be amazing t visit at night. I wonder how the stars look from here. If you could see them from here that'd make this a 10/10 lol. I'm not actually sure what temple this is, but Japan has so many amazing temples that are like this and they just have some of the most amazing architecture and views. I'll still never forget the first time I went to Kiyomizudera and was just blown away by not only the scale of the temple, but the architecture and history that you could feel just by being there. Might visit a temple over golden week, we'll see. Gotta find out where this is at too!

寺院と桜のコラボは一度撮影してみたかった。
お寺に電話をして桜の状態を確認してから行きました。
ここは人気スポットらしく多くのカメラマンがいました。

嵐山の天龍寺にて撮影、思い付きでカメラを上に向けたら、そこには桜と空のコラボレーションがあった。

お友達と一緒に歩いていると、お友達のお子さんに、とても素晴らしい景色が見えるポイントを教えてもらいました❣️⤴️

菜の花と残雪の山々と青空⤴️⤴️⤴️

今年は雪解けもお花の開花も早く、このロケーションは見れないと思っていたのですが、前日までの花冷えのお陰で、見ることができました??

憧れの残雪の山々と春の花に出逢えました☘️

桜が各地で咲き始めると、遠くからは見ていても近くで見ることがない場所が何箇所かあり、今回、ソノひとつのトコロに行ってみました?
