    Ibaraki Higashiibaraki-gun Oaraimachi Onukicho 802-1

    県指定の天然記念物「オハツキイチョウ」があるとのことで紅葉の季節に伺いました。 ただ、残念なことに、雨が降ったためか、オハツキイチョウはすっかり散ってしまっていました。 その代わりということでないでしょうが、山門から仁王門にかけて植えられている紅葉の色が濃くなっていました。

    Ibaraki Naka-shi Nukadaminamigo 375

    鐘楼門と桜のコラボが特徴です。 しだれは境内の中央にあり、かなりの存在感があります。 鐘楼門に登った視点が面白いですね。 私が訪れたときはちょうどちった桜が境内を覆っていました。

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
