It is the Hozomon gate of the local Sensoji Temple, the five-storied pagoda, and the drooping cherry blossoms taken in the middle of the night.

The flowering of the drooping cherry blossoms is a little earlier than that of the Yoshino cherry blossoms. The best time to see it is from the middle of March.

This is the main hall and shrine office of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, my hometown, taken in the middle of the night. I often see Sensoji Temple, which is crowded with people, It's hard to see Sensoji Temple when there is no one there. It's a privilege to be able to take pictures because it's local (laughs).
