Located at an elevation of over 100 meters and to the southwest of Tamatsuoka Shrine, Jizozen-in Temple offers a sweeping view over the plain of Ide Town. There is a weeping cherry tree with clouds of blossoms that is designated as a Natural Monument of Kyoto Prefecture. The tree is estimated to be approximately 300 years old. The tree is related to a very famous hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) spot in Kyoto City, Maruyama Park. The park’s first-generation weeping cherry tree and this old tree have the same mother tree, actually. In Ide, this weeping cherry tree stands on a stone wall, and there is a hanging bell behind it. It has a classic Japanese charm, and when the sun sets, the view is breathtaking!
