Sakura - Best Viewing Period at Kōkyō-ji

Known as the temple of Chihime, the granddaughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Kōkyō-ji offers a chance to view the tomb of Chihime (the main hall) along with her relics and associated items. In spring, the cherry blossoms planted in the temple grounds bloom beautifully, welcoming visitors. It's a recommended spot for those who want to enjoy a leisurely hanami.
