The unforgettable beauty captivates the heart. The weeping cherry blossoms standing in the grounds of Jyousenji Temple in Omishima, Ehime Prefecture are a truly fitting scenic spot.
Omishima is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea. During the cherry blossom season, the approach to Jyousenji Temple is surrounded by pale pink petals. The long branches of the weeping cherry blossoms hang like a tunnel of flowers.
The best time to see the weeping cherry blossoms is usually from early to mid-April. Plan your trip carefully not to miss the flowering season. The temple has a long history, founded by Kobo Daishi. In the spacious grounds, there are many other famous places in addition to cherry blossoms.
In addition to sightseeing, enjoying interaction with the islanders is also attractive. Omishima has one of the highest aging rates in Japan, but this allows you to experience the traditional island life atmosphere. Even if there is no offertory box, the temple people will be happy to respond to you if you greet them.
Sitting under the weeping cherry blossoms, gazing at the falling petals, what could be more beautiful? Feel the arrival of spring and be grateful for the encounter of a lifetime. Visiting Omishima will surely create irreplaceable memories.
