Snow-Capped Mountains Beyond Temple Gardens with Spring Blossoms and Manicured Matsu Pines
実相寺の桜を見守る甲斐駒ヶ岳
At Otsuyama Jisso-ji Temple in rural Japan, cherry blossoms (sakura) bloom gracefully behind a weathered stone wall, accompanied by the delicate elegance of a manicured matsu pine. In the distance, the snow-capped peak of Mt. Kaikoma towers above the landscape, adding a touch of grandeur to the serene temple grounds.
Although Otsuyama's highlands rest at just 643 m (2,110 ft), the early morning air was frigid when I arrived just before sunrise. By 7:00 a.m., sunlight began to spill over the horizon behind me, warming the gardens in a gentle glow. The contrast was striking with the warmth of spring blossoms against the backdrop of Mt. Kaikoma's snow-dusted peak, which rises to 2,300 m (7,545 ft).
Standing here, I couldn’t help but feel the sense of tranquility that the Jisso-ji Temple landscape emanates where nature and history exist in perfect harmony.
