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 😚😚 #post #japanstyle #japantravel #japantrip #japantravelphoto #fun #mylife #japanstyle #japon #thetraveltag #hashtag #happy#positivevibes #photooftheday #photoshoot #pose #happy #osaka #大阪 #style #styleblogger#hydrangea#mimuratoji #hydrangeanails #hydrangeatemple #hydrangea #mimuratotemple #mimuratotemple #mimuratotemplehydrangea

Mimuroto-ji Temple in Uji, Kyoto is a temple of the Honzan Shugen sect and is known as the 10th temple of the Thirty-Three Temples of the Western Provinces. It was originally called Omuroto-ji Temple, but during the Heian period, it became a villa for three emperors, Emperor Kōnin, Emperor Kazan, and Emperor Shirakawa, so the "O" was changed to "San" and it came to be called Mimuroto-ji Temple. Mimuroto-ji Temple is famous as a "flower temple." About 250 weeping plum trees are planted on the slope of a small hill, and in spring it becomes a garden of weeping plum trees. In early spring, there are cherry blossoms and azaleas, in early summer hydrangeas and lotus flowers, and in autumn, there are four types of autumn leaves and autumn chrysanthemums. Seasonal flowers decorate the garden In winter, the snow creates a world reminiscent of a sumi-e painting There are more than 60 steep steps from the entrance to the main hall.

|Mimuroto Temple. The plum blossoms in February, the azaleas in April and May, the hydrangeas in June, the maple leaves in November, the courtyard of Mimuroto-ji Temple is full of colors throughout the year. 🚇 The previous stop of Uji is Mimuroto. There are not many people here. I walked in the courtyard and took pictures leisurely. It’s just that the red leaves have ended this year, so I must come to see the hydrangeas in June next year.

The heart-shaped hydrangeas at Mimuroto-ji Temple were truly an emotional experience! Among the colorful hydrangeas spread across the temple grounds, the heart-shaped ones are particularly special. The lovely pink and blue flowers bloom as if drawing a heart, captivating all who see them. The contrast between the temple's tranquility and the beautiful flowers was soothing to the soul. I brought my camera and took many cute photos with my friends. It was a wonderful time feeling the change of seasons wrapped in a Japanese atmosphere. It's a place I want to visit again.

I made a special trip to Uji We went at the end of June, the sun was shining (remember to wear a hat) Take advantage of the convenience store on the way from the station to Mimurotoji Temple. Mimurotoji Temple has many local Japanese and Taiwanese/Korean tourists going to the temple, but it is not too crowded. The steps up to the main hall were a bit difficult on a hot day, but when we got to the temple we saw many interesting stone statues, and everyone started to touch them to bring good luck. Walking past the temple and going down to the hydrangea garden, you can see it from a distance and take photos up close. If you don’t know much about framing, just refer to the amazing Korean aunt❣️ 💞Recommendation reason: It’s not bad to see hydrangeas in Keihanshin before summer vacation when there are no cherry blossoms/maple leaves. 🗓️Itinerary: Same-day round trip from Umeda to Uji (1.5 hours)

Since I went in early June, the embroidery flowers did not bloom much, I suggest you go at least mid-June, it will bloom more beautifully inside the temple also has a flower tea house, walking so long to eat a bowl of shaved ice really through Heart cool.

I visited Mimurotoji Temple in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture! Known as the 'Hydrangea Temple', it's famous for its hydrangeas, with about 50 varieties and 200 plants on the premises 😳 This year, the hydrangea garden is open from 6/1 to 7/7. I was able to see many different colors and types of hydrangeas, which was very soothing. It seems that the lotus flowers will also be in full bloom in July and August. It's about a 15-minute walk from Keihan Mimurodo Station. Parking was 1,000 yen for the day. If you love hydrangeas, I definitely recommend a visit ☺️

#Travelwithme I went to Mimuroto Temple to see the hydrangeas. It was a weekend and the weather was very nice, so there were a lot of people. It's about a 15-minute walk from Keihan Mimuroto Station. First, please go to the main hall. The stairs are steep, but the view is spectacular. There are several limited-time goshuin stamps. Some hydrangea varieties are in bloom, while others are yet to bloom. I think you can still enjoy it this weekend. It's a shame that the tea shop that was in the hydrangea garden last year wasn't there this year... It seems that you can get hydrangea parfaits and hydrangea parfait ice bars at the nearby Ito Kyuemon (there was a sign at the intersection), so it's worth stopping by on your way home 🥰

Mimuroto-ji Temple is the most representative temple in the Kansai area of ​​Japan. Because there are many different flowers in the temple, Mimuroto-ji Temple is also known as the "Hydrangea Temple"🪻🪷 Mimuroto-ji Temple was built 1,200 years ago. There are many different stone statues in the temple, each representing a different thing. For example: "Fortune Rabbit" 🐇 Legend has it that there is an egg-shaped stone in the hole of the stone ball that the rabbit is holding. If you can make it stand upright, it symbolizes good luck and health. "Lucky Bull" 🐂 Legend has it that if you put your hand into the cow's mouth and hold the ball tightly, you will have good luck #日本旅行 #日本神社 #日本景点 #日本自由行 #日本好去地方

The Sanshido Temple in Uji is about a 20-minute walk from the World Cultural Heritage Equality Center. It takes you from the Keihan Tram Sanchahu Station and walks to the ancient temple recently. Compared to other temples in Japan, the visitors of Sanshihu Temple are very rare and mainly Japanese. This Buddhist temple is built on the mountain and is famous for its hydrangea. However, in the late autumn, there is no hydrangea in full bloom, but the red leaves are intoxicating. Compared with other temples in Kansai, the red leaves of Sanshihu Temple will probably be red for about ten days, and the most promising period is from mid-November to late November. The temple of Sanshihu Temple is not as magnificent as the temples such as Kyoto Tofu Temple and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but the layout is reasonable, small and exquisite, without losing the quiet and solemn atmosphere, the popular temples are much more, and there are some places where there are fewer people. I feel very attentive, at least I really like this place. #

Ujis Sanshido Temple is about a 20-minute walk from the Equality House. The most famous is the beautiful scenery of the hydrangea (hydrangea) in June. It is a pity that I went to April and did not appreciate the hydrangea. The returning garden in the temple is full of various kinds of hydrangea. If it is the hydrangea season, you can take a different view around the garden. There is also a tea room in the garden where you can buy a matcha and a Japanese dim sum. The temple's main hall has to climb a small slope. The Sanshihu Temple is mainly dedicated to the bronze statue of the Avalokitesvara Guanyin, which is rumored to be born in the mountains. There is also a treasure hall built in the temple. The five wooden carvings of the Fujiwara era, Amitabha, are placed in the temple. It is an important national cultural relic of Japan. Outside the hall, you can buy hibiscus and cute souvenirs related to hydrangea. In August, there will be lotus and lotus flowers in full bloom here.
