Mikurain Temple｜The deep pink of the Ayasugi cherry blossoms offers a superb spring view.

Leaving behind a spring scene with the deep pink of the Angyo cherry blossoms at Mikurain Temple.

At Mikurain Temple, the Ayasugyo cherry blossoms bloom beautifully in spring, allowing visitors to enjoy an early cherry blossom viewing experience before other cherry trees. The dark pink petals of the blossoms, combined with the historic atmosphere of the temple, make for a beautiful, stately sight. The quietness of the approach to the temple and its precincts is a great place to photograph the graceful appearance of the cherry blossoms. Especially when photographed in the clear morning light, the vividness of the yasugyo cherry blossoms is enhanced. Go there to capture the moment in your camera as you feel the early spring coming.

Key points for photography

The best time to photograph the gate is before dawn, when the lantern lights are on, and you can aim for an atmospheric shot surrounded by soft light. Since there are people taking pictures early during this time, it is safe to take pictures while being considerate of your surroundings. In addition, the restrooms may not be open in the morning, so it is recommended to use them beforehand so you can concentrate on taking pictures in a calm atmosphere. In addition, it is important to check the blooming condition of the cherry trees before visiting, as they tend to bloom early and the viewing period is short.
