This photo was taken of weeping cherry blossoms blooming in an overall dimly lit atmosphere. I was conscious of bringing out the beauty of the cherry blossoms even in low light. The cherry blossom festival at Kita-in Temple is one of the most representative scenery of Kawagoe in spring. The Someiyoshino cherry trees that surround the precincts of the temple are worth seeing, and the weeping cherry trees, which are in beautiful harmony with the buildings, are a popular photo spot. Visitors can enjoy the different expressions of the cherry blossoms as they stroll through the spacious grounds, making for a relaxing springtime experience.
