Sakura Matsuri at Sakuragi Shrine
It’s an event on Sakura season, and a lot of people go join it for beautiful cherry blossom and limited goods. 🌸There are a lot of cherry blossom trees at shrine and they make it special for us to enjoy Sakura season.
- Limited Goshuin – Sakura design
- Limited items
- Sakura decorations
- Beautiful cherry blossom
Limited Sakura Designed Goshuin
On this event, they don’t write down on your Goshuin note, you will get a printed one.
A Numbered Ticket + Waiting Time
I’ve read that they started giving a Goshuin from 9:30, so I got there around 9:20. However there was a line already and I got a numbered ticket saying #183.
I’d recommend to go on weekdays than weekends. After 45 minutes of waiting, finally my number was called. There are benches to sit down, other things to enjoy like Omikuji (fortune teller slip), small cafe space, etc.
Sakura Designed Goshuin Note
You can also find limited design of Goshuin note. And one of my purposes of going there was to buy a Sakura designed Goshuin note with vinyl cover + watermark pattern of sakura on paper!
I knew that they get sold out very easily, so I went to buy it as soon as I got the numbered ticket for Goshuin.
Omikuji – Fortune Teller Slip
I tried an Omikuji while i was waiting for my number get called. They have many kinds of fortune teller slips which is difficult to choose from. I tried “Sakura Mikuji” at this time.
Sakura – Cherry Blossom
You can have a beautiful cherry blossom view at shrine, also find various kinds of sakuras!
Princess Miyabi
Do you know the Sakura named Princess Miyabi?🌸 This got named after Princess (then, Empress now) Masako of Japan. To be honest, I didn’t know it and it was the first time for me to see it. It’s vivid pink and looking very elegant.
