Spring has arrived at Kairyuoji Temple in Nara, and Yuki willows are in full bloom. Approximately 150 Yuki Willow trees with small white flowers blooming all over their branches grow wild.

In the temple grounds, the Somei Yoshino cherry tree was also blooming with pale pink flowers. Chief Priest Shigemoto Ishikawa said, ''I hope you can feel the power of nature and the importance of every moment.'' YukiWillow can be enjoyed until this weekend.
