Cherry blossom viewing season: usually early April to mid-April
A temple in Oharano related to Keishoin, the birth mother of the 5th Tokugawa shogun Tsunayoshi [Yoshimineji]
In 1029 (Chogen 2) in the middle of the Heian period, Gensan Shonin opened the mountain. Emperor Goichijo designated it as an imperial prayer place for the protection of the nation, and gave it the name of Ryomine-ji Temple. Most of the temples were destroyed by fire during the Onin War, but the existing bell tower and other temples were rebuilt thanks to the efforts of Keishoin, the mother of Tsunayoshi TOKUGAWA, the fifth shogun of the Edo Shogunate. The 600-year-old "Yuryu no Matsu" is a nationally designated natural monument.
Because it is located on the slopes of Mt. Shaka, you can overlook Kyoto city and Mt. Hiei while admiring the seasonal flowers. During the cherry blossom season, there are more than 100 cherry trees, including higanzakura, weeping cherry, wild cherry, and botanzakura, and the best time to see them lasts for about a month. The weeping cherry tree, which is said to have been hand-planted by Keisho-in Temple, is best seen around April 8th, and is a famous tree that is over 300 years old. During the fall foliage season, the entire mountain is dyed in vermilion, creating a magnificent scenery unique to Yamadera. Currently, the Tahoto Pagoda, which is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, is undergoing renovation work. (Scheduled to end in March 2024)
