Mr. @1230fuukeinoturishi
These works are not only Shidarezakura (weeping cherry blossoms) of the Josen Temple in Standard, but also somewhat nostalgic works 🥺 that capture the everyday cherry blossom scenery of the Kuraoka area
In addition, the sensibility to pay attention not only to the cherry blossoms but also to the attractive flowers of the mountains ... It's something I want to emulate... 🙏✨
I will introduce it every day, but please stay with me 🙇 ♀️ for a while

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

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) 😊
