Hirokawa-dera, Buddhist temple in Kanan, Japan.
The temple complex contains the Honbo garden, Saigyo Memorial Hall, and multiple structures surrounded by 1,500 cherry trees of different varieties.
En no Gyoja established Hirokawa-dera in 665, marking it as one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the Kanan region of Japan.
The temple forms part of multiple pilgrimage routes, including the Saigoku Yakushi 49 Temple circuit and the Kawachi Asuka Ancient Temple path.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 200 yen for children.
The temple gardens feature Suya-zakura, red weeping cherry blossoms with thin trunks that produce deep pink flowers in early April.
