Hasedera Temple Sakurai Nara prefecture

2023-4-28

I visited Hasedera Temple in Sakurai city Nara that is famous for peony flowers in this season. I’ve visited this place once almost 30 years ago, but the streets leading to the temple looked not changed much. Even though it was a weekday, there were many tourists.

The time spent at the temple was so calm. The peony flowers were undoubtedly beautiful, while I was attracted by other casual things such as five-color flags, giant trees, votive picture boards, water falling into a cup, potted flowers just put in front of the windows, or a dragonfly rarely seen.
