🌸 【Hokuryucho Cherry Blossom Spot Introduction vol.3】 🌸
Hello, this is 🌻 the Hokuryu Town Himawari Tourism Association
This time, too, we will introduce the cherry blossom Spot that colors the Spring in Hokuryu Town!

🌟 The third installment is—
"Ipponzakura of Kotoku Temple"!

This time, I would like to introduce the ninth place of worship "Kotoku Temple" of the 88 sacred sites in Hokkaido.
The Hokkaido Eighty-Eight Sacred Places is a Buddhist pilgrimage route made in imitation of the Eighty-Eight Sacred Places of Shikoku.
While visiting 88 temples scattered throughout Hokkaido, you can enjoy a trip to experience Nature, culture, and faith.

One of them, Kotoku Temple, is a temple that stands quietly in a calm atmosphere.
Magnificent Ipponzakura bloomed on the Spring, delighting 🌸 the eyes of many people

Also in the Precincts is a small bronze bell called "Prayer Bell", and
Anyone can 🔔🎶 play it freely
Not only pilgrims, but also those who visit for sightseeing will heal their hearts with the gentle tone.

The cherry blossoms have already fallen, but the silence and prayer-filled space of Kotoku Temple
Regardless of the season, it gives you a moment to prepare your mind.
When visiting Hokuryu Town, be sure 🍃 to visit it as a step on a pilgrimage or as a rest during your journey

We look forward 😊✨ to your visit
