🌸Around Tokyo - Kawagoe Kitain Award Cherry Blossoms🌸

#Sakura2024 During my trip to Tokyo in February, I took a one-day trip to Saitama Kawagoe, a city near Tokyo. Kawagoe City has many historical buildings of Edo Castle, and it is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in March and April. 🌸Cherry Blossom Viewing at Kita-in Temple in Kawagoe🌸 Kita-in Temple in Kawagoe was built in 830 AD. Because of its long history, it is listed as a "National Important Cultural Heritage" and is also a famous temple in the Kawagoe area. During the cherry blossom season, about 100 cherry trees are in full bloom at Kita-in Temple. Many Japanese tourists like to come here for picnics and cherry blossom viewing. 【Address】1-20-1, Kosenba-cho, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture [Cherry Blossom Viewing Time] Late March to early April 【Ticket】Free admission 【Business hours】 March 1st - November 23rd Weekdays 8:50～16:30 Holidays 8:50～16:50 【transportation】 Get off at Kawagoe Station on the Tobu Tojo Line or JR Kawagoe Line.
