Photography spot of Kawazu cherry blossoms at Jogenji Temple (Iwatsuki)
Jogenji Temple (Iwatsuki) is a calm and relaxing spot where you can take pictures together with Kawazu cherry blossoms blooming on the temple grounds and the temple building. Combining the tiled roofs of the temple and the scenery of the temple grounds with the cherry blossoms makes it possible to take pictures of spring scenery that is uniquely Japanese. Visitors can also enjoy photos of the changing seasons not only when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but also when they begin to turn into leafy blossoms or when petals fall to the ground.
Key points for photography
The key to taking pictures is to create a composition with foreground and background in mind, such as focusing on the Kawazu cherry blossoms and blurring the temple in the background, or conversely, making the temple building the main subject and blurring the cherry blossoms in the foreground. When the sun is shining through the trees, it is possible to capture a soft atmosphere by making the best use of the "ball blur" effect. Temples are also places of worship, so be sure to enjoy taking pictures quietly and with good manners so as not to disturb the visitors.
