This photo beautifully frames the weeping cherry tree and the building in the background. Nakain Temple in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, is known as a historic temple. In spring, the magnificent weeping cherry blossoms blooming within its grounds enchant visitors. The early morning hours are especially ideal, with fewer people and a quiet atmosphere, offering the perfect time to enjoy the soft glow of the weeping cherry tree bathed in the morning sun.Within the grounds of Chūin Temple, several weeping cherry trees are planted. During the blooming season, their slender branches gracefully cascade downward, adorned with pale pink blossoms, creating a truly beautiful sight. The cherry blossoms in full bloom sway in the breeze like a curtain of flowers, allowing visitors to feel the breath of spring. Viewing the cherry blossoms in the crisp, clear air of early morning offers a different kind of tranquility and calm compared to daytime, providing a moment to settle the mind.
