Ninna-ji Temple – "A Late-Blooming Sakura Sanctuary"

#cherryblossom25 Ninna-ji Temple in Kyoto is a stunning hanami destination, known for its Omuro-zakura cherry trees that bloom later than most varieties. This makes it an ideal spot for visitors who missed the peak season in other areas. The temple’s historic five-story pagoda, surrounded by soft pink blossoms, creates a breathtaking view. Unlike busier Kyoto sites, Ninna-ji offers a peaceful atmosphere where you can enjoy the beauty of sakura without heavy crowds. The blend of history, traditional architecture, and late-blooming cherry blossoms makes this UNESCO World Heritage Site a hidden gem for those seeking a quieter hanami experience. ---
