Tanzan Shrine in Sakurai City Nara

2023-3-31

As gotten warmer, I visited Tanzan Shrine in Tonomine, Sakurai City, Nara by motorcycle. Even though the shrine stands in the deep mountain forests, several couples of tourists were visiting from early morning. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom here also.

Its website says that the current buildings were built in the 1600s and 1700s, but they are colored and give bright impression. Today I used SIGMA sd Quattro H only to test the camera that has been slept long time during this winter.

Souvenir shops stand on the way back to the parking lot. While having a light lunch, I heard various stories from the owner of the shop. He told that colored maple trees in autumn is more famous here than spring cherry blossoms.
