Hidden Sakura Gem in Kamakura: Ryūkō-ji Temple 🌸

#cherryblossom25 I just can't resist sharing this place that truly stole my heart! 🥹 While Jōraku-ji and Hase-dera are popular choices when visiting Kamakura, there's a lesser-known treasure — Ryūkō-ji Temple — that quietly captures the beauty of spring. 🌸 It may not stand out at first, but once you sit quietly on the stone steps outside the temple, away from the hustle and bustle, you’ll feel the peaceful spirit of spring wrapping around you. 🌿☀️ A gentle breeze brushes by, setting the sakura in motion. Pink petals float down slowly like a dreamy snowfall, blanketing the ground in soft hues of pink and white. ✨ In that moment, you’ll find yourself completely enchanted. If you want to experience a truly romantic sakura rain, don’t miss Ryūkō-ji, just a short walk from Yokosuka Station. Here are some of the best photo spots 📸: Under the cherry trees in front of Ryūkō-ji: Stand on the stone steps and capture a photo framed by sakura, with the iconic Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) passing by in the background! Sitting at the temple entrance: Sit on the wooden threshold and look inward — the temple garden filled with blooming cherry blossoms will unfold before your eyes like a living painting. Under the sakura tree to the right as you enter: Climb the steps on the right and look down — the ground is carpeted with fallen petals, creating the most breathtaking view imaginable. Please take your time and immerse yourself in this incredible sakura rain. It’s pure magic. 🌸💭 #travel
