Wakayama ❤︎ The earliest cherry blossoms in the Kinki region 🌸

It is an old cherry blossom spot that is also mentioned in Matsuo Basho's haiku. There is a standard tree for observation by the weather observatory in the precincts, and this year, on March 26th, it was declared the earliest cherry blossom in the Kinki region. In April, the trees are in full bloom, and about 400 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino and Higanzakura, are in full bloom in the precincts. The vermilion pagoda, bell tower, and torii gate are gorgeous. It's a spot full of things to see. The cut-out goshuin is also cute. On a nice day, the view of Wakaura from the precincts is spectacular. There are 231 steep stone steps from the tower gate to the precincts where the main hall is located, but there is a cable car and elevator, so it's easy to climb. The cherry blossom festival is until Sunday, April 20th. Please save this and go see the cherry blossoms. **❤︎ ✰ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ 📍Kimiidera 🇯🇵1201 Kimiidera, Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture 📲073-444-1002 🕰️OPEN: 8am-5pm 💰Admission fee: 400 yen for adults, 200 yen for those 70 years old and over, and elementary and junior high school students Cable fare: 200 yen for adults, 100 yen for those 70 years old and over, and elementary and junior high school students Entry fee on foot is free 🚃10 minutes walk from Kimiidera Station on the JR Kisei Main Line 🚗From Wakayama Minami IC (Smart IC) on the Hanwa Expressway (15 min) 🅿️30 cars (charged) ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ✰ #0 yen trip #Travel for 0 yen #0 yen trip in spring#Sakura spots #Cherry blossoms #Cherry blossom spots #Amazing cherry blossoms #Introducing amazing views in Japan
