Jorinji Temple, located in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture, is renowned for its magnificent 400-year-old weeping cherry tree (shidarezakura). While the best viewing time is typically around Golden Week, earlier blooms may occur due to warmer weather. The temple grounds feature a spacious garden with various cherry trees and peach blossoms, creating a beautiful pink landscape during peak season. Visitors can also enjoy the charming clusters of dogtooth violets (katakuri) near the parking area. The temple is a short drive from the Hakuba roadside station, though the entrance may be slightly difficult to find. A visit during the cherry blossom season is highly recommended to witness the full splendor of the weeping cherry tree.
