Visited Hida Kokubunji Temple in January during peak winter, and the atmosphere was absolutely serene, quiet, and beautiful. The 1,200+ year-old ginkgo tree was in its winter state, bare of leaves, yet still incredibly majestic and full of presence.
The three-story pagoda standing against the winter sky and the frozen pond nearby made the whole place feel especially picturesque. A peaceful spot that truly lets you slow down and appreciate the beauty of winter in Takayama.
