【Hidden Famous landmarks 🌸 Mulberry Cherry Blossoms】

Yesterday, Monday, 4/7, was a sunny day ☀️ with a warm breeze
It was 🌸🍡 truly a day of cherry blossom viewing

Speaking of cherry blossoms in Gokase Town, the Mikasho area is particularly famous, but there are 😌✨ also hidden cherry blossom famous landmarks in the Mulberry Nouchi district

Photos 1~3 show the cherry blossoms 📸 of a private house on the left just before entering the sunset village bridge from National Route 218 and going up the slope at the end of Prefectural Road No. 8

Two large pale pink cherry blossoms sandwiched between a tea plantation and a large blue sky overlooking the Aso Caldera, a 🌸 good Satoyama landscape in Japan ... It's 🥹✨ breathtaking

It seems to be 🤭💕 a Spot with many hidden fans that only those in the know know

Photos 4~5 show the cherry blossoms 📸 of a private house that can be seen as soon as you go down the road next to the fire hut along Prefectural Road No. 8

A carpet of rape carpet of flowers blooming at your feet and magnificent weeping cherry blossoms shining against the blue sky in the background. You can 🤗✨ see the gorgeous scenery like Spring

Bright purple magnolias are also blooming right next to it, making it a 🤩 Spot where you can enjoy Spring all at once

Lastly, photos 6~8 show the cherry blossoms 📸 in the Temple of light

It is a very large cherry tree that 😳✨ you can't see in its entirety unless you look at it from a little distance

The contrast between the pure white petals and the red-and-white mottled camellia flowers planted in the foreground is very beautiful. 👏 🙏💡

By the way, it is up to the entrance of Mulberry Uchi, but please tell us ✨ about your favorite cherry blossoms so far 😌

In addition, although we introduced the cherry blossoms of a private house this time, since it is only a private house, please do not enter the garden or make noise around when Appreciation, and please 🙇 ♀️ observe manners so as not to disturb the neighborhood

Now, it's going to rain this Thursday, so will it 🥲 scatter there? It's a little lonely, but its fragility is also the charm of cherry blossoms, and 🫶 the cherry blossom blizzard is also a breeze, so let's enjoy it to the fullest until the 🌸 end

【🌸 Gokase In the Town Night Cherry Blossoms 🌙】

In the town Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) are in full bloom in many places, but the appearance of the cherry blossoms at night is also indispensable ✨

So, I would like 📸🤗 to upload the photos of the night cherry blossoms that I took on 4/6 (Sunday)

Needless to say, the Josen Temple, as well as the Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of the Harada family, are 😳 overwhelmed by their powerful appearance

On this day, it was 🌙 sunny and beautiful in collaboration with the moonlight

The Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) around the bell of Josen Temple was a little late, but it bloomed firmly and created a tasteful scenery 👏

Kijiya is finally in Best time to visit, and the night cherry blossoms reflected in the pond are 🥹✨ very beautiful

The cherry blossoms during the day are also great, but the cherry blossom tour at night is also good, because 😌🌸 there are relatively few people, so you can 💡 enjoy it slowly

During the Light up period, the Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of Josen Temple is until 4/13 (Sunday), and the Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of Kijiya is until 4/16 (Water) 😊

However, since it is around a private house, please be quiet 🤫 for Appreciation at night

In addition, it is difficult to see from a car if you are dressed in the dark, so please 🙏 be careful not to have an accident by wearing conspicuous clothes such as yellow or white and reflective materials

Let's ✨ enjoy the Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) manners 😊 that will make you enjoy their beautiful appearance a little more safely and securely

Thank you for submitting many photos for the #Gokase Hanami 2025 that is being Held in on our Instagram Account (@gokae_kanko), and 😭 we 😭 are still waiting for you to apply! Certainly!! Please try to 🙇 ♀️✨ post

[The 🌸 Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of Josen Temple is Best time to visit 🌸]

It is a Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of Gokase In the town, where the temperature did not rise easily and the progress of flowering was slower than every year.

【Gokase Sakura Project】Cherry Blossom Festival 🌸

On March 29 (Sat) ~ 30 (Sun), the Cherry Blossom Festival was ☺️✨ held in around the Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) in Kijiya

The post will be Scene 💡 on Saturday 29th

Although the temperature was low, there was sunshine in the morning, and the venue was crowded ☀️ with many visitors in addition to a wide variety of stalls and kitchen cars

Light up at night on this day, the members of Naniloa HULA studio performed a splendid hula dance 🌺✨

The stage was held under a cold sky, but the hula dance with overflowing smiles seemed to make our hearts 🤗💕 flutter

As of 3/29, about 2~3% of the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and unfortunately they were 💦 not in full bloom

However, the Light up that the students of Gokase Secondary School worked hard to set up was beautiful 👏✨ with gentle lights that made the venue shine even if there were few cherry blossoms

Minobu-san Kuon-ji Temple 400-year-old drooping cherry trees 2025.03.30

Kuon Temple is full of highlights such as the main hall established as the head shrine of Nichiren Buddhism

Nichiren Shoshu entered Mt. Minobu on May 17, 1274 (Bunei 11), and from June 17 of the same year, he made his residence in a soan in the west valley at the foot of Mt. Takatoriyama. As a result, May 17, 1274 was designated as Nichiren Shojin Minobu Entry Day, and June 17 of the same year was designated as the day of the opening of Mt. Minobu. Since then, Nichiren Shojin has been reciting the Lotus Sutra and teaching his disciples for nine years, and on November 24, 1281 (Koan 4), he abolished the old hermitage and built an Authentic Hall, which he named himself "Minobusan Myōhoin Kuon Temple". From HP

Impression everywhere you look, such as the magnificent Main gate, the three gates, and the five-story pagoda.

In particular, the 400-year-old drooping cherry trees that bloom in the Precincts at this time of year are a masterpiece.

Photographed at the former Main Building of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office
The Shidarezakura weeping cherry blossoms in the courtyard is said to be the grandson of the first "Gion Shidarezakura weeping cherry blossoms" in Maruyama Park.

When I went to take a picture of the cherry blossoms and stars, it was lit up, so when I came back the next day, the moon was fat and it didn't work out well
