Yakujuin - Otsu

I think it's the largest hanging cherry tree in Otsu City. I can't enter the building now.

I have never seen such a magnificent weeping cherry tree. It's a pity that it can't be captured in the photo.

April 2021 The other day, I took the Keihan Ishiyama Line to Sakamoto to see the cherry blossoms. Not only the cherry blossoms in Hiyoshi Baba, but also the weeping cherry blossoms in several places I was looking for, I was wandering around thinking "what kind of feeling is it? ?". One of them, the weeping cherry tree of Yakujuin, was beautifully proud of its appearance in the blue sky. Every year, I fall in love with that figure. Even if my husband tells me, "Don't get bored, don't go over and over again." The weather was blessed this year and the blue sky was beautiful. No matter how many years have passed, I am looking forward to spring. December 2020 I went to Sakamoto on a snowy day on New Year's Eve. Taking a picture of a snowy landscape is a battle against time! is. Especially when you move on foot like me, when the sun comes out, the temperature rises in a blink of an eye, the snow melts, and the fantastic atmosphere disappears. (； ∀ ；) To prevent this, I had to get on Keihan from the dark early in the morning, but on that day, I arrived at Sakamoto Hiei Yamaguchi Station at around 7:20 in the morning. This is still a late time. I took a few pictures of the station and went to Yakujuin. Snow is piled up on the taiko cherry blossoms and it is very beautiful! Snow is piled up on the pine branches, and it is a good salt plum. It was a cloudy sky, it was snowing, and it was cold, but the weather was nice. January 2019 I visited in search of a snowy landscape. The flowers of snow that bloom in full bloom are very beautiful, and you can clearly see their unique branching. The snow season is also beautiful. In May 2018, I wander around Sakamoto in search of yellowish green. From Keihan Sakamoto Station, turn right in front of the torii gate heading to Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine, and you will see a large beautiful weeping cherry tree. This is the weeping cherry tree of the famous Yakujuin, and if you say that the flower season is wonderful, you will be overwhelmed by its size! However, everyone pays attention only to the weeping cherry blossoms, and this pine tree is also a wonderful branch! It's a private village, so you can only see it from outside the hedge, but it's still beautiful. Also, the green of the weeping cherry tree is very good, and other trees are well maintained, so you can imagine that it is a beautiful garden. (Imagination over a hedge.) Normally it is not open to the public, but we hope that it will be open to the public only during the cherry blossom season in spring and the beautiful season of this fresh green, only for pre-applicants. It must be a beautiful garden. April 2017 Although it is a private village, the large weeping cherry tree that can be seen from the outside is beautiful.
