One of the fantastic things about Japan is that no matter whether you've been to a place before, you absolutely need to re-visit it at least once during each season. The change in season brings with it a fresh new perspective and many different ways of seeing any one location.
I first visited the Jyogi Nyorai Temple during winter when the trees were bare and the ground covered with a white blanket of snow. It left an indelible impression in my mind and I decided to return at the onset of spring. The snow was gone, and the trees and flowers were slowly coming to life.

It's a lovely experience walking through the grounds near the pagoda.

I wonder if you can see the beautiful reds and oranges during the fall season. It's something I look forward to every year, regardless of the place and if I've been there before

Oh definitely! I should update this with my autumn photos. It's a wonderful site for koyo.

The pagoda is beautiful in any season, but I especially liked the snow picture. (Maybe that's just because we see snow so rarely down here in Kyushu!)

This is one of my favourite places in Tohoku. The journey to get there is a joy in itself. You're right though, whichever season, the beauty is there. It's just accented a tad differently.

I completely agree! The changing seasons create a whole new feeling and the environment. I see winter and feel a sense of quiet serenity, then the life of spring brings a sense of cheerfulness. Great job, Radica! Can't wait to see more pics and read more of your articles!
