Myoken-ji Temple: A Historic Nichiren Sect Sanctuary in Kyoto's Heart

#cherryblossom25 The century-old weeping cherry tree takes center stage in April. Unlike touristy spots, its blossoms unfold with quiet dignity beside the main hall. Prime viewing: - Early morning or ~3 PM, when slanting sunlight casts petal shadows on ancient wood. If visiting mid-April (during Buddhist ceremonies), linger beneath the eaves to hear monks' resonant sutra chants—a profound harmony with falling sakura, crafting an unforgettable Zen moment.
