At Joshinji Temple (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo), this photo shows what I felt was "the harmony of temple gate, cherry blossoms, and spring.

This photo was taken at a location where someiyoshino cherry trees in full bloom, lanterns, stairs, and the temple gate were all in harmony with each other, creating a truly springtime temple atmosphere. Tucked away in a residential area of Bunkyo Ward, Joshinji Temple is a tranquil temple with deep roots in the community. In spring, cherry blossoms gently begin to bloom on the temple grounds, and together with the historic main hall and temple gate, the scenery is nostalgic and peaceful.
