Kyoto gets busy during the cherry blossom season! If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy the blooms, I recommend Rokusono Shrine!
It's truly wonderful. It's my favorite spot for tranquility and meditation.
If you're nearby, don't miss the chance to visit. Do it.
The shrine is small but filled with two beautiful blooming Ukon cherry trees.
Paired with a bright red torii gate, this shrine is the perfect sakura spot TT.
Moreover, it's said that crossing the bridge leading to the main hall of the shrine will bring you blessings of good fortune!

I am very happy to meet you, the Six Sun King Shrine
this shrine is very small, but the photographer and the travel will not be unfamiliar ~ Yoshino Sakura, double-flowered cherry are open on both sides of the road (Figure 3, 4) Yes: very few people!
This time I went to Kyoto to see cherry blossoms. I didnt go to many places. Where are the people who go there, I was really lucky that day, my friend and I visited the East Temples special visit at 6 oclock in the morning. Look at the nearby temple near here, it took more than 10 minutes to come, it is really worth it! At 7 or 8 o'clock, we are both personal. Moreover, it was still raining when I visited the East Temple. Once I arrived at the Six Sun Wang Temple, it was clear, and the land quickly dried up. The
temple is not big, but it is everywhere: the road, the stone bridge, the carp pond, the shrine, the stone lantern, and the shrine is small and complete. When I went there, the cherry blossoms were full, and I was fortunate enough to appreciate the morning sun shining on the scenery of the mosque and staying for a long time.
was born by the sixth son of Qing and Emperor, also known as the King of the King, because it is the sixth son and grandson, so he called the six grandsons. The six grandsons lived in this shrine until dying. Later generations buried the six grandsons and built the temple, which is now the Six Sun King Shrine.
The shrine in the center of the shrine is called the dragon pond. Because the six grandsons love the peony, the pattern on the pillar of the shrine is also a peony flower.
Although it is a famous shrine, it is very good-looking. I have been enjoying it for half an hour with my friends. I have been patting. The red bird house is small, but no one. You can definitely take the desired angle and beautiful photos!
