An old temple in Teramachi, Matsumae Park

Original Text

　On the day the Matsumae Sakura Festival started, I enjoyed the cherry blossoms in full bloom in Matsumae Park. In the back of Matsumae Park, there is a place where temples are lined up, called Teramachi. Among them, Ryuunin is the temple closest to Matsumae Castle. １６２５ This temple, built in the year, is said to be the only temple that was destroyed by fire in the Hakodate War. Therefore, the gate, which is the entrance, was made with a sense of history and style. In the precincts, there was a famous cherry blossom "Ezo Kasumizakura".
