Flower Festival is held at Josenji Temple in early April in Gokase Town, Miyazaki Prefecture. Saieizan Josenji Temple is a Jodo Shinshu temple founded in 1615 by Goto Magodayu, a warrior, who became a Buddhist priest.

In front of the three-story pagoda stands a weeping cherry tree, which is 15 meters in height, 3 meters in trunk circumference, and 250 to 300 years old. It is designated as a natural monument by the prefecture. The tree is a variety of Ubahigan-zakura, the branches of which have grown downward. It produces pale pink flowers in late April every year. It is said to be the most elegant and wonderful weeping cherry tree in the prefecture.
