Sengakuji temple. 47 ronin

It's just a flashback to sakura season, but I would like to post these beautiful pictures.
Of course, the 47 ronin story is very tragic, but the scenery of Sengakuji temple is so romantic when sakura is blooming. As usual, no dogs are allowed. Please wait outside, Bon Bon-san!

Bon Bon's trip to Kyoto. Part 1. Toji

Toji temple (literally "East Temple") is one of Kyoto's UNESCO world heritage sites. This is the famous five storied pagoda. Oh, and the weeping sakura was still blooming.

 

A nice pile of turtles. Do they resemble the pagoda?

  

I really love those turtles!

 

The territory of Toji temple is surrounded by this river.

 

Poor Bon Bon

On the way to Kyoto. Taking a stroll

Sakura viewing at night

Hanami at night is called yozakura ("night sakura").
Bon Bon is a big fan of yozakura ^_^

 In daytime the last place looks better. It is called Zenpuku-ji and is situated in Azabu. Sometimes it is called Azabu-san. Here is the information about it in Japanese http://www.azabu-san.or.jp/ 

Zenpuku-ji one of the oldest Tokyo temples after Asakusa.
