In 810 (the Konin first year), as an authority temple, kaisou, "Homyo temple" is the temple learned about as famous place for beautiful cherry blossom from the Edo Period. Sakuranamiki following both sides of the approach to Shrine keeps charming many people. Though it's downtown, wrap yourself up in the silent atmosphere, flower viewing is the happy hunting ground spot which can be done calmly.
When I go through Sando, I see a temple gate in the front and have a temple bell (A tray is shouldered.) and shuntsuka (morning glory ZU or) etc. in a precinct. When I advance towards the inside, an authority god of the harvest hall is deified ahead of the red Torii. You'd be able to feel long history in Homyo temple by appreciating it according to Sakura.

The flower viewing spot a little way from Kanda River like Omokage-bashi "Takado bridge". I'll bustle with many people at bloom time of the cherry tree every year. It's also one of a popular reason that it's the photo spot which can take a picture of a metropolitan streetcar and a salted cherry leave at the same time. To the extent there is a cameraman who often goes to and from, too,in order to take a picture of the scenery the spring.
It's also possible to judge a cherry tree in Takado bridge from a car window of a metropolitan streetcar, and the form of the tourist who looks at a cherry tree is also judged from a metropolitan streetcar.

A Someiyoshino cherry tree equals closely along a street.

It connects from Sugamo Station to Edobashi about 300 m, "make, GA, cherry tree Namiki Dori". When I advance some "monuments of" a Yosino cherry tree towards a mark before crossing Shiroyama street, Sakuranamiki spreads along the Yamanote Line. Sakuranamiki which also blooms from Miyashita bridge to Edobashi at the inside is highlights. It's possible to look at Yamanote Line and Sakuranamiki at the same time from these two bridges, in a ward, it's also famous as an outstanding photo spot.
You can also look at a cherry tree from the Edobashi park on the opposite side of the railroad track. The surrounding whole is circled by a flower of a cherry tree and is the spot which fits to have time freely.
