Chasing Sakura at Harumeki

#cherryblossom25 Harumeki-Sakura is an early-blooming cherry blossom variety celebrated for its sweet, intense fragrance and deep pink petals. Originating from Minamiashigara City in Kanagawa Prefecture, this unique sakura typically begins to bloom from late February to early March, signaling the early arrival of spring. Its distinct aroma and vibrant hue set it apart from more common varieties, making it a favorite among local residents and visitors alike, and a cherished symbol of renewal and the fleeting beauty of nature in Japan.

Daiyuzan Saijoji Temple

The temple complex was one of the most impressive we’ve seen in Japan. Daiyuzan Saijo-ji is obscurely located in the mountain forests of Odawara's Hakone so it’s a really amazing peaceful place to spend the afternoon. We hiked to the temple from Daiyuzan town and it is a bit of climb but we did take a nice rewarding soak at the onsen close by after and took the onsen bus back to the town. There’s also an option to take the public bus there and back. Although it is still frequented by devout worshipers from all across Japan, it remains one of the less talked about magnificent places in Kanagawa Prefecture. #givethanks #givethanks
