1. Cherry blossoms in Daigo-ji Temple in 2011

The following images on Apr. 06, 2011 were offered by Mr. Tsuji who lives in Kyotanabe city.

We Japanese enjoy "Hanami" (cherry blossom viewing) in spring and enjoy "Momijigari" (maple viewing) in autumn. Daigo-ji Temple is particularly famous for its cherry blossoms together with Yoshino-yama in Kansai district, and is noted for its Hanami banquet after "Hanami Banquet in Daigo" held by TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi. You can enjoy various kinds of cherry blossoms around the precincts of Daigo-ji Temple in April.
