Spring town and cherry blossoms / Kurodani Konkaikoumyouzi Temple

 

The atmosphere of cherry blossoms in tourist spots is different from the original appearance of cherry blossoms. Since ancient times, cherry blossoms have provided a quiet and peaceful moment for people in their daily lives.

If you are looking for such scenery in present-day Kyoto, I recommend going to the area around Konkai-Komyoji Temple.

This temple retains its imposing presence, unchanged since ancient times. The same is true of the surrounding town houses and the neighboring Munetada Shrine.

When you are in a place like this, you can understand that cherry blossom season is just one season, and that the present time is just a moment in a longer time.
