Cherry Blossom Festival

About a 30-minute drive from Shin-Osaka Station is Katsuoji Temple, famous for its late-blooming cherry blossoms. Around the time when the cherry blossoms in the lower world drop their flowers, the cherry blossoms in the mountains greet the see. Step into the 80-thousand-tsubo precinct, and a stunning weeping zakura with a deep green in its back, greets the worshipers. The contrast between several types of cherry blossoms and nature seems to be looking at a wide painting. This temple is also known as "the temple of winning luck", and every day there are no worshipers from all over the country to receive "winning dharma" when praying for luck or success. Dharma, who has been successful in the precinct, is dedicated to the place. Image courtesy of Katsuoji Temple
