🌸 Kawazu Sakura is in Full Bloom!

The beautiful Kawazu cherry blossoms along the river are now at their peak! The Kawazu Sakura Festival has been extended from March 1 (Sat) to March 9 (Sun)!

◇What is Kawazu Sakura?
Discovered in Kawazu Town, Shizuoka, Kawazu Sakura (カワヅザクラ) is a unique early-blooming cherry blossom. Unlike the common Somei Yoshino variety, Kawazu Sakura has larger flowers and a vibrant pink color.

◇Why is Kawazu Sakura so special?
One of the biggest reasons for its popularity is its long blooming period—unlike other cherry blossoms, which fade quickly, Kawazu Sakura lasts for weeks, making it a perfect way to enjoy Japan’s sakura season earlier than usual.
Don’t miss this breathtaking pink scenery along the Kawazu River!

Discover the Enchanting History of Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple in Kyoto!

First built in 766 by Emperor Shotoku, Otagi Temple was originally located in Higashiyama near Gion. Although the temple was washed away by floods from the Kamo River, it was re-established in the Heian Period by Senkan Naigu, a priest of the esoteric Tendai sect. In 1955, the temple began a new chapter of artistic transformation under Kocho Nishimura, a renowned Buddhist sculptor and monk, who led the creation of 1,200 unique rakan statues.

Relocated to its current location during the Taisho era, Otagi Nenbutsuji continues to blend Buddhism and art, overseen by the Nishimura family. Visitors are greeted by the 1,200 stone rakan statues, donated by pilgrims. The temple also houses many statues carved by the former chief priest, the late Kocho Nishimura, including those in the Fureai Kannon Hall.
