A Night Stroll Through Myoken-ji: Kyoto’s Hidden Night Sakura Sanctuary

#cherryblossom25 🌸 Why Myoken-ji? ☆ Steeped in history: With over 700 years of legacy, it’s Kyoto’s oldest Nichiren Buddhist temple. ☆Exclusive night access: During sakura season (late March to mid-April), the temple opens after dark for enchanting illuminated viewing (yozakura). ☆Serenely uncrowded: Escape the tourist bustle and savor the tranquil atmosphere—perfect for unhurried photos and contemplation. ☆Four poetic gardens: The kyokusui(winding stream) garden, bamboo garden, and karesansui (dry landscape) glow under soft lights, blending sakura shadows into living art. ☆Weeping cherry fantasies: Temple-lit shidare-zakura (weeping cherries) cascade like floral waterfalls, draping the grounds in petals.
