[Saitama Prefecture] The ginkgo fruits in front of the Hakkakuendo Hall are amazing in autumn!

Shinkoji Temple 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Located in Miyamoto-cho, Tokorozawa City, this temple is of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism and goes by the mountain name Yuishiyama Kannon-in. It is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo stopped here to rest while hunting. It is also said that he prayed for victory here when Nitta Yoshisada attacked Kamakura. In the temple grounds is a vermilion-painted octagonal main hall, and in front of it are two ginkgo trees. The grounds were covered with ginkgo nuts, making it difficult to walk. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ ꕥTemple name: Shinkoji ꕥAddress: 1-7-3 Miyamotocho, Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Kokukoen Station → approx. 16 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Tokorozawa city #Temple #Temple tour
