"The path up to Kannon temple is lined with cherry blossom and fields rape blossom. In spring the bright yellow fields and cherry trees attract visitors from both Kyotanabe and further afield. The fields were planted in 2000 thanks to the cooperation of the Kyotanabe Tourism Association and local volunteers. Every year the Tourism Association holds a ""Hanami Walk"" event during which many people visit the temple and pick rape blossoms to take home."
