This photo was taken looking up at the large lantern hanging over the gate of Sensoji Temple from beneath a weeping cherry tree. The lantern visible through the spring blossoms was striking. The weeping cherry trees at Sensoji Temple create a beautiful collaboration with the gate and the five-storied pagoda, making them an irresistible subject for photography enthusiasts. Early morning offers fewer people, allowing you to enjoy precious time carefully considering your composition while shooting.
