This photo was composed looking up at the shrine from under the scarlet cherry tree, creating an atmosphere in which the branches of the cherry tree seem to wrap around the shrine like a picture frame. It is a picture that reminds us of the coming of spring. At the EBARA Shrine when the scarlet cherry blossoms are in bloom, white-eyes can be observed flying over the branches and sucking the nectar. The colors of the flowers and the green of the birds create a beautiful scene. There is a statue of Ebisu-sama in the precincts of the shrine, which attracts many worshippers as a god who bestows good fortune.
