[Homyoji Temple/Tokyo] A hidden cherry blossom spot in Ikebukuro

Homyoji Temple in Toshima-ku, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 This temple was founded in 810 as Iko-ji Temple. It was converted to the Nichiren sect by Nichigen in 1312. It is the main temple of the nearby Zoshigaya Kishimojin-do Temple. There are cherry trees in the temple grounds, but the row of cherry trees in front of the mountain gate is a beautiful sight that will leave you entranced. You can also see many cats in this area. It is located away from the downtown area, so it is even more difficult to imagine that you are in the city center. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥTemple name: Homyoji ꕥAddress: 3-18-18 Minamiikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉Ikebukuro Station → 🚶♀️About 11 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Ikebukuro #Temple #Temple tour #Sakura spot
