Nan Hokkeji Temple is also known as the Healing Temple. The Buddha statue is surrounded by cherry trees. In spring, you can see the Sakura Buddha with cherry blossoms in full bloom, as if floating among the cherry blossoms. It is definitely a beautiful landscape! It is best to visit this temple in the morning when it opens to avoid the crowds and have soft morning light for photography.

#cherryblossom25 It's the cherry blossom season in early April at Minami Hokke-ji Temple in the suburbs of Nara, and the Sakura Buddha is very easy to photograph and produce great results. It is recommended to arrive in the morning, as many minibuses and tour buses will fill up the small temple after the afternoon. There will be fewer people here between 9 and 11 o'clock, so if you want to take your time taking photos, remember to choose the right time. You can either queue up to buy tickets or buy them in advance. I would recommend buying tickets in advance, as it will be faster to get through customs, especially when the area is full of tourists. In addition to this cherry blossom spot, there is also a hidden cherry blossom spot, Kashihara Palace ruins. A large field of yellow cauliflowers is really great with the cherry blossoms.

#cherryblossom25 I woke up in Kyoto on April 3, 2024, to see on Xiaohongshu that the cherry blossoms at Tsubosaka Temple (also known as Nampō-dera) and Mount Yoshino had bloomed overnight! Excited, I rushed over and captured some incredible shots of this breathtaking sight. 🌸 🌸 Cherry Blossom Timing in Nara: Full Bloom Expected: April 4, 2025 The blossoms will be in full bloom for less than a week, so timing is key! Make sure to keep an eye on updates from other travelers on Xiaohongshu for live updates. ⏰ 🚄 Getting There: From Kyoto: Take the Kintetsu Kashihara Line to Kashihara Jingu-mae Station, then take a taxi or a bus from the station to the temple. From Osaka: Take the Kintetsu Osaka Line to Yamato-Yagi Station, then continue by taxi or bus to Tsubosaka Temple. The temple, built over 1300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty, is a hidden gem for anyone visiting Nara, especially during the cherry blossom season. 🌸 #familytravel #myitinerary

Tsubosakadera is a temple that is said to cure eye diseases and stands on Mount Tsubosaka, which overlooks the Nara Basin, one of the three mountains of Yamato. The temple grounds, which have ties to India, display many Buddhist sculptures related to Hinduism in Gandhara, giving it an exotic atmosphere that you would never expect in a Japanese temple. The highlight of Tsubosakadera is the 10m-tall Great Buddha "Tenjiku Torai" "Great Shaka Nyorai Stone Statue" In spring, it is surrounded by cherry blossoms, and is also known as the "Sakura Buddha" because it looks like it is wearing a cherry blossom shawl. In recent years, it has become so popular that during the season, it is common to wait for 2 hours to park. In the worst cases, it can be 3 to 4 hours. In addition, there is a huge queue at the Sakura Buddha worship platform in the temple grounds, where you have to wait another hour. It takes a lot of patience to capture the Sakura Buddha on camera. However, it is worth it to see the blessed Sakura Buddha, which makes you feel like you are worshiping the Pure Land. By the way, the main image of this temple is a Buddha who can seal away eye diseases. Some Buddhas donate glasses to the Buddha, It's quite unique. Finally, another famous feature of this temple is the "Daihina Mandala," one of the largest in Japan. Among the approximately 4,000 Hina dolls, there are some playful and unusual dolls that were popular at the time. It's like a treasure hunt.

Not only did we get to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom, but we also passed through a large and beautiful cherry blossom tunnel. It was truly a dream trip! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the big Buddha surrounded by tender pink cherry blossoms made me fall in love with this place at first sight. I read the guide before setting off and felt that the route was quite complicated and time-consuming, so I was a little worried. But in actual experience, it is actually very simple and super worth it! What surprised me even more was that I accidentally discovered a cherry blossom tunnel that was several kilometers long and almost in full bloom. The most important thing is that there were not many people there, so the photos were superb. It is simply a paradise for cherry blossom lovers! My dears, hurry up and take this guide and go experience the romance of cherry blossoms!

#FuritabiWinter This is a museum that can be visited for free, located behind the tourist information center "Yumesoukan" along the Tosa Kaido in Takatori Town, Nara Prefecture. It was opened by remodeling part of the storehouse of Yumesoukan. The history of medicine in Takatori Town is long, and it is said that in 612 AD during the Asuka period, Empress Suiko led Prince Shotoku and her companions on a medicine hunt in the mountains and fields of Haneda in Takatori. Blessed with rich nature, it seems that there was an abundance of medicinal plants and animals. Medical techniques and the effects of medicine were transmitted from China, and family medicines were created by combining them with secret prescriptions, and Yamato medicines were spread throughout the country by mountain ascetics. Retro medicine packaging and valuable tools and equipment were on display. #NaraTourism #NaraTrip #Nara #DomesticTrip #SoloTrip #GirlsTrip #Museum

#Sakura2024 The ruins of Takatori Castle, towering over a mountain at an altitude of over 500m, were in a great location with a great view. It was a magnificent and quiet space where you could feel the passage of a thousand years of time. There were many large trees that were said to be over 700 years old. The magnificent castle walls remain, and walking along them makes it clear that the area was quite large. It was a place worth seeing, but I think it would be dangerous to wear sandals. I recommend going there dressed like you would for mountain climbing. #NaraPrefecture #CastleTour

Among the sacred places scattered in the central and southern part of Yamato Province (present-day Nara Prefecture), Tsubosaka-dera (official name: Nanhokke-ji Temple) is one of the shrines and temples that have been revered as particularly miraculous in ancient times. Its location is recognized as being exactly in the center of the province, and it served as a junction between the open plains of Heijo-kyo and Fujiwara-kyo, and the "mountainous region" of Yoshino and Omine, with its steep mountain ridges. Although the origins of its founding are unclear, it had a high status as a temple of prayer for Emperor Gensho (680-748) during the Nara period. These connections also gave the temple deep ties with nobles, and in the Heian period, even the powerful Fujiwara no Michinaga (966-1028) came to worship at the temple. The temple's influence grew even more when it was designated as the sixth temple of the Thirty-Three Pilgrimage Sites of the Western Provinces. The temple is built into the mountainside of Mount Tsubosaka, and it is said that at its peak there were over 60 buildings lined up on the entire mountain. In addition to the aforementioned historical history and temple status, the background to this prosperity was the protection of the Ochi clan, lords of Takatori Castle who ruled the area in the Middle Ages. The Ochi clan was a powerful clan that ruled the central and southern parts of Yamato Province for generations, and played an active role as a powerful military commander on the side of the Southern Court during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. The Southern Court, based in Yoshino and its surrounding areas, relied on the ruggedness of the mountains and rivers to oppose the Northern Court, but the Ochi clan was at the forefront, so to speak, and was a key figure in interpreting the delicate balance of power at the time. The Ochi clan later surrendered to the Northern Court, but throughout the Muromachi period they maintained the greatest influence in the southern part of Yamato Province and were often the source of conflict in the Kinai region. The Ochi clan built Takatori Castle as a base for controlling their territory, and Tsubosaka-dera Temple, located at one corner of the entrance to the castle, also played an important role in defense. If you look at a map when visiting Tsubosaka-dera today, it is clear that Tsubosaka-dera Temple beautifully supports the framework of the fortified Takatori Castle, and it can be seen that the castle and the temple were truly a "community of shared destiny." In fact, Tsubosaka-dera Temple was often burned down in battles over Takatori Castle, and very few cultural artifacts from that time remain. Meanwhile, an essential part of the unique character of Tsubosaka-dera Temple are the miraculous tales related to the eyes. A shamisen player named Sawaichi, who was struggling to make ends meet due to his eye problems, had a wife named O-Sato, but every night O-Sato would sneak out of the house without telling Sawaichi. Suspicious of this, Sawaichi confronts her, and O-Sato confesses that she had been praying to the Kannon Bodhisattva, the principal image of Tsubosaka-dera Temple, every day for three years, for Sawaichi's illness to get better. Sawaichi, deeply ashamed of his own suspicions, repents and begins to frequent Tsubosaka-dera Temple with O-Sato, but eventually becomes worried that his presence will damage O-Sato's future, and throws himself off the cliffs of Mount Tsubosaka, taking his own life. When O-Sato finds out about this, she is heartbroken and finally follows Sawaichi. However, that day happened to be the day when Osato's prayer to the Kannon Bodhisattva was to be fulfilled, so the Kannon Bodhisattva took pity on them and revived them, and Sawaichi's eyes were also opened. This story of tragic love and miracles became a huge hit in the Edo period as a puppet theater piece called "Tsubosaka Miracle Chronicle Miyabiku," and the name and benefits of Tsubosaka Temple quickly became well known. Even today, hundreds of years later, the temple remains well known, and worshippers from all over the country still gather there to pray for the cure for eye disease. Based on this history, Tsubosaka Temple has also strived to spread Buddhist doctrines around the world, and the temple grounds maintain a unique international style with a relief of Buddha made of stone from India and a charnel house modeled after the Ajundah cave temple. The shape and sense of color, which are somewhat un-Japanese, and the strange harmony that is expressed in the deep, rich mountain range of Mount Tsubosaka are thought to be the unique charm of this temple, which is filled with various strange connections and stories. Recommended for solo travelers: ★★★ (There are quite a few people, but it's a large place so it doesn't bother me) Visited: 4th Saturday in September, around 2pm Access: About 30 minutes by car from Katsuragi IC #Tsubosakadera Temple #Minamihokkeji Temple #Nara #Nara Prefecture #Nara Trip #Nara Sightseeing #I'm a Nara School #Delicious and Beautiful Nara #Back to Nara #Nara is Beautiful #Takatori Town #Domestic Travel Lover #Temple Tour #Temple Lover #Temples and Shrines #Temple and Shrine Tour #Shrine and Temple Tour #Buddha Statue #Buddha Statue Lover #Buddha Statue Tour #Saigoku Thirty-Three Temples #Saigoku Thirty-Three Temples Pilgrimage #Saigoku Thirty-Three Kannon Temples #Kannon Bodhisattva #Ningyo Bunraku #Sealing Eye Disease #History Lover #Solo Travel #Life with Travel
