This photo was taken when I happened to spot a temple while driving down the road—it was so beautiful I just had to pull over and capture it. I was deeply moved by this unexpected encounter with such a scene. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood of Bunkyo Ward, Jōshinji Temple has a gentle atmosphere, existing as if it were part of the community. Come spring, cherry blossoms bloom softly throughout the grounds, overlapping with the main hall and mountain gate to create a gentle, heartwarming landscape.
