[Saitama Prefecture] A hidden spot for wisteria and autumn leaves in Saitama! "Tamashiki Shrine"

"Tamashiki Shrine" is located in the Kisai district of Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture. It is a small shrine in the countryside, but its founding dates back to the 8th century, and it is an ancient shrine with such a long history that its name is even mentioned in the "Engishiki" (a collection of laws from the Heian period). The shrine's original garden, Tamashiki Park, is home to a large wisteria trellis known as the "Tamashiki Shrine's Great Wisteria," which is over 400 years old, and every year during the Golden Week season in May, the grounds are gorgeously decorated with vibrant purple and white wisteria. Overall scale It doesn't come close to Ashikaga Flower Park, but the wisteria is just as gorgeous when viewed alone. In addition, in autumn, the sacred ginkgo tree in the temple grounds will cover the grounds in a golden carpet. It's a truly divine sight. The shrine is lit up during both the wisteria season and the autumn leaves season. Since Tamashiki Shrine is mostly frequented by local tourists, you can take your time to explore the shrines and temples except on weekends, so it's highly recommended. #tripdomestictravel #saitamaprefecture #spectacularview #wisteria #famousflowerspots #shrinesandtemples
