This photo shows a quiet early morning gate of Sensoji Temple and weeping cherry blossoms on the verge of falling. On a sunny morning, there are few people and it is a time when you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms in a calm atmosphere. If you are planning to visit Senso-ji Temple, early morning in the season when weeping cherry trees are in bloom is recommended. Especially if you photograph the weeping cherry blossoms together with the gate and the five-story pagoda, you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of Asakusa, where the historical buildings and the spring colors blend beautifully. Aiming for a time of day when there are fewer people allows you to take pictures in a relaxed and thoughtful composition, and pictures combining cherry blossoms with lanterns and climbing flags are also impressive. In addition to when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you should not miss the elegant appearance of the cherry blossoms when they are in decline.
