This photo captures the moment when light suddenly pierced through the cloudy sky, instantly illuminating the cherry blossom avenue. It was a beautiful moment of light and shadow contrast. At Mitsuzoin Temple, a famous spot in Kawaguchi City, the Anko cherry blossoms, heralding the start of spring, color the temple grounds.The scenery, harmonizing with the historic buildings, is perfect for a leisurely stroll while viewing the blossoms. The peak viewing period tends to be a bit early, making it ideal for those wanting to get a head start on spring.
