#cherryblossom25 From Hiroshima, Miyajima, Narita, Tokyo, I able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom this year in 2025. As winter melts away and spring gently whispers its return, Japan once again adorns itself with the delicate beauty of sakura—cherry blossoms that symbolize not just the change of seasons, but the essence of life itself. In 2025, the annual bloom of sakura feels more than just a natural event; it is a reminder of renewal, hope, and the quiet strength found in fleeting moments. I felt blessed able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom. In Ueno park, many peoples gathered together to witness the beauty of cherry blossom. In these moments, nature brings people together, inviting them to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the present.

Miyajima in Aki, home to Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage site that represents Hiroshima. Daishoin is the oldest temple on Miyajima, standing on a hill about a 5-minute walk from the main hall of Itsukushima Shrine. It is enshrined as the head temple of Itsukushima Shrine. Because it is on a slightly elevated area, the long approach to the main hall is quite difficult. The approach and grounds are filled with Buddha and Kannon statues, cute Jizo statues, Enma statues, Karasu Tengu, 500 Arhats, and other unique stone statues such as Anpanman and Kappa, making it a fun temple that feels like a treasure hunt. Above all, the autumn leaves are a sight to behold! They are elegantly beautiful. Personally, I think Henjoin, located at the very back, is fantastic and interesting. #tripdomestictravel #shrinesandtemples #hiroshimaprefecture #worldheritage #autumnleaves
