Sakura Hanami at Amihiki Kanon

Known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, many tourists visit 'Amihikiyama Gakuhouji (Amihiki Kanon)' every year to experience spring. The Kawazu cherry blossoms in front of the main hall bloom early, followed by Edohigan, Somei Yoshino, and Yamazakura cherry blossoms blooming consecutively along the hillside, allowing for a relatively long cherry blossom viewing season. It is also widely known as a spiritual site for safe childbirth and child-rearing, one of the leading temples in the Kanto region.
