No.2 Fukuju-ji Temple

Fukuju-ji Temple is home to two large red weeping benishidarezakura, said to be 250 and 470 years old. The deep pink blossoms on the majestic weeping sakura, set off by the solemn grandeur of the old temple buildings, create a stunning sight. The graves of three rulers of the Tamura clan, who ruled over Miharu in medieval Japan, are also on the temple grounds.
