Spring Outing: Gokokuji Temple🌸

#springwander

Spring is the perfect time to visit Gokokuji Temple, a hidden gem in Tokyo. Founded in 1681, this historic temple offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. During spring, the temple grounds are beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms and fresh greenery, creating a serene and photogenic atmosphere.

Walking around Gokokuji, I was captivated by its traditional wooden structures and the sense of tranquility that fills the air. Unlike some of Tokyo’s more crowded cherry blossom spots, Gokokuji feels calm and intimate, making it a great place for a leisurely stroll or quiet reflection. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy sakura season without the crowds, this is a fantastic choice!

Why You Should Visit:

✔ Beautiful cherry blossoms and a peaceful atmosphere
✔ A historical temple with stunning traditional architecture

📍 Address: 5-40-1 Otsuka, Bunkyo City, Tokyo, Japan
