長興山紹太寺 しだれ桜 — photo spot in Iryuda, Odawara, Kanagawa 250-0031, Japan
長興山紹太寺 しだれ桜
A venerable weeping cherry (shidare-zakura) framed by the compact temple buildings of Chokozan Shotaiji. Prime subject: the tree in full bloom against traditional temple architecture and stone lanterns. Visit late March–early April for peak blossoms; early morning or golden hour provides warm side-light and fewer visitors. Small temple grounds are walkable; basic etiquette (quiet, no tripods in crowded times) and limited on-site parking — nearest train is Odawara Station with a short taxi or bus
