Kyoto's Daigo ji Cherry Blossoms
#kyoto #sakura #japan
Daigo-ji Temple is situated on Daigo-san in southeastern Kyoto. Daigo-ji Temple has a vibrant history that dates back to 874. Blessed with royal support, it flourished magnificently over the centuries. However, the tumultuous Ōnin War of 1467 brought a severe setback to the temple, leaving only the majestic five-story pagoda standing.
In the late 1590s, Toyotomi Hideyoshi infused new life into the temple, overseeing the reconstruction of Sambō-in and other structures. This rejuvenation paved the way for the 1598 spectacular Cherry Blossom Viewing at Daigo, a joyous celebration that attracted a whopping 1300 attendees! Even today, this cherished event continues to sparkle in Japanese history, adding to the cultural richness and historical charm of Daigo-ji Temple.
Today, Daigo-ji Temple is renowned for its stunning cherry blossoms! The temple grounds is bursting with over 1,000 cherry trees. Among them, the beloved weeping sakura trees steal the show with their gracefully cascading branches and pink petals, painting the air with a mesmerizing weeping effect. These enchanting trees bloom just before the popular Somei-Yoshino variety, making Daigo-ji Temple the ultimate spot for an early springtime celebration amidst the cherry blossoms!
