"Hydrangea Temple" You can enjoy beautiful scenery.
15 minutes from Keihan Mimuroto Station, it was founded by the imperial wish of Emperor Kōnin during the Hōki era (770-781) and enshrines the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva as its principal image.
For those who love Buddhist statues, there is the Treasure House (open once a month, fee required), which houses important cultural properties such as the Amida Nyorai statue, a wooden standing Shaka Nyorai statue, and a wooden standing Bishamonten statue.
There are many auspicious spots at Mimuroto Temple, so it's a good idea to remember the points...
Go through the mountain gate and climb the stairs to Mimuro-do. After washing your hands, it is said that it is good to touch the "Ugajin" and the "Hoshoushi", "Fukutoku Usagi" and "Dragon's Head" in front of the main hall, all of which are auspicious. You can also see the handprints of Wakanohana and Takanohana, perhaps to bring good luck in winning. For women, there are many fortune-telling slips and votive plaques lined up.
Next to the main hall are the Amida Hall, the bell tower, and the three-story pagoda, which are great photo spots. If you have time, there is a bright vermilion Juhachijinja Shrine behind the main hall. It's a detour, but it's worth stopping by.
Another thing is that this temple is known as a flower temple, and you can enjoy a variety of flowers. The garden "Yorakuen" is famous. The dry landscape garden and pond stroll garden created by Nakane Kinsaku cover an area of 16,000 square meters, and are soothed by azaleas and hydrangeas. They are not in bloom now, but you can imagine them.
In March 2022, a garden of 250 hanging plum trees, now in plum blossoms, will open. The woman at the reception desk at the entrance to Mimuroto Temple asks, "The plums are just starting to bloom, is that okay?" She was a small consideration for the 800 yen admission fee.
Ah, it's okay, there were few customers and I had the plum blossoms and the view all to myself, so I was very satisfied 😚😚
