#aprilblooms In the ancient temple, which has a history of more than 1100 years, a huge number of temple treasures have been handed down, such as wooden cultural properties including pagoda architecture and Buddha statue sculptures, and paper cultural properties such as scriptures, documents, and paintings. Many of them are designated as national treasures and important cultural properties, and the number is about 75,000. In 1994, it was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site as one of the "Cultural Properties of the Ancient Capital Kyoto". It is also known as a famous flower place that has been called "the highlight of flowers" since ancient times. Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who later pacified the world of war and became the ruler, transplanted 700 cherry blossoms from various parts of the Kinai region, and in the spring of 1598 (Keicho 3), he held a grand cherry blossom viewing banquet "Daigo Hanami", which is famous in Japanese history. In line with that story, the "Toyotako Hanami Procession" is held on the second Sunday of April every year, and it is crowded with many worshippers on that day.
