This photo, taken at Koishikawa Botanical Garden, evokes a sense of nostalgic beauty that stands out in the distance.

This photo was taken from a slightly pulled-back position, capturing both the cherry tree and the retro building together. The expanded background creates a composition that enhances the sense of spatial depth. Located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Koishikawa Botanical Garden is known as an affiliate facility of the University of Tokyo. It is a photography spot where profound natural beauty unfolds amidst tranquility.Within the garden, plants representing each season—cherry blossoms, azaleas, green maple leaves, and autumn foliage—are carefully cultivated. Scenes where thoughtful composition comes alive are scattered throughout: the interplay of natural light and the shadows cast by plants, the curves of paths, and the overlapping trees. While not flashy, it offers many subjects that invite careful attention, making it the perfect place to capture quiet moments in photographs.
