This photo was taken peering through the gaps of weeping cherry blossoms at the gate of Sensoji Temple. The gate visible through the cherry branches enhanced the spring atmosphere.Spring at Sensoji Temple is a delightful place for leisurely strolls while enjoying the cherry blossoms. Near the gates and the five-story pagoda, cherry blossoms add color, and capturing them alongside the climbing flags and lanterns creates photos packed with the essence of Asakusa. The weeping cherry blossoms also have a charming elegance, a beauty that makes you want to stop and gaze. Since the view changes depending on where you shoot, walking around to find your favorite angle is also a fun part of the experience.
