This is Jindai cherry blossom tree at Jisso-ji temple in Yamanashi prefecture.
It is said that this is one of Japan’s oldest cherry trees at 2000 years old.
And it is one of Japan’s 3 great cherry blossom trees.

Stone monument and Shidare-zakura(weeping cherry tree) at the entrance of the temple.
Japanese texts in this stone says “Do what the Buddha tell, then your efforts will be paid off”.

The scenery of cherry blossoms and daffodil field is also popular.
The best photo spot is the front of the garden.

But you can also take a beautiful picture from the side.
