Look at these flowers and their subtle but elegant gradation from white to pink!<\/p>\n

Hase-dera is known as the \u201ctemple of flowers.\u201d Peonies that bloom in late spring and winter are a kind of symbol of this temple, but cherry blossoms in early spring are also exceptional.<\/p>\n

It looks as if the mountain is wearing a pink veil of flowers or the temple is floating in a sea of cherry blossoms. You can enjoy the flower for comparatively long period of time here, thanks to the variation in the kind of cherry trees — some bloom earlier and some later than others.<\/p>\n

While young flowers almost reaching full bloom are impeccably beautiful, falling petals after full bloom also touch our hearts.<\/p>\n
