Gokurakuji 【Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom】

Gokurakuji is an old temple of the Soto school of Zen. The largest weeping cherry tree in the prefecture, located within the temple grounds, is a light pink color with a strong red hue. Every year, from late March to early April, its magnificent appearance can be seen, with a history of about 140 years. The main hall enshrines the Yakushi Sanzon, and the Nikko and Gekko Bosatsu on the sides are said to be from the Fujiwara period.
