Hasedera is a famous Buddhist temple located in Nara Prefecture, Japan. The temple is famous for its spectacular architecture, picturesque surroundings, and rich culture and history. The temple has a unique architectural design, especially the multi-story structure of the main hall, which is located on a hillside and overlooks the beautiful surrounding scenery. 💞Recommended reasons: Hasedera Temple has cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn, and the different natural scenery of each season is fascinating. 🕰️Business hours: 9:00 - 16:30 📍Address: 731-1 Hase, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, 633-0112 #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#DomesticTrip I went to Hasedera Temple, the head temple of Nara Prefecture, which is famous for its hydrangeas. It will be held from 2024.5/24 to 7/7 at Hasedera, Okadera, Muroji, and Kosakadera. There are also limited edition goshuin stamps. If you collect four of them, they will become one picture. 😊 The hydrangeas are displayed in pots, so you can always see them in full bloom. When they are in full bloom, you can take a photo like the 8th one. The hydrangea wall is a must-see spot 😊 Hasedera Temple is particularly popular with visitors, so we recommend going first thing in the morning ☺️┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈Kagechi Sakurai City, Nara PrefectureArtwork name: Hydrangea StairsSpot name: Hasedera Temple of FlowersAddress: 731-1 Hatsuse, Sakurai City, Nara PrefectureOpening hours: 8:30-17:00 (April-September) 9:00-17:00 (October-November, March) 9:00-16:30 (December-February)Admission fee~Individual~Adults: 500 yenJunior and high school students: 500 yenElementary school students: 250 yenIf you have a disability certificate displayed 250 yen (discount for disabled people applies only to one accompanying person) Camera legs.

The reason is that Kannon "is there to realize and fulfill everyone's wishes" To do this, it is necessary to have a broad perspective. What a wonderful reason🥹🩵 That's why Hasedera Temple always receives letters and reports of gratitude💌 I don't always make requests at shrines and temples, but I was touched by their kind hearts🥹✨ 🏷️Nara Trip Summary #mariko_nara 📷olinpaspen 🗓December 2023 𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 ⚠️All information is current as of December 2023.

The rainy season is about to start, which is a horrible time of year☔️ But hydrangeas are at their best during the rainy season✨ There are many great spots to see hydrangeas😍 Today, we will introduce "#Hasedera" in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture [Highlights of Hasedera] Hasedera is a great place to see spring cherry blossoms and autumn leaves all year round, but the hydrangeas are beautiful during the rainy season✨ The reason this place is so popular is the hydrangea stairs in the top picture💡 At the top of the long corridor, there are stairs that you don't usually climb, but they are filled with pots of hydrangeas🤩 A spectacular view that is rarely seen anywhere in the country😆 It is not always installed! It is only installed during the following period ▪️Event period: May 25th - July 7th, 2024 The best time to see them is mid-June! [Things to note when taking photos] You can actually climb these stairs, so you can take photos buried in hydrangeas! However, everyone climbs them, so it's quite difficult to take portraits without people.💦 If there is no one around, work together with the people around you to stop climbing for a moment and create a situation where there are no people around! When I went, I waited for about an hour, but we all cooperated and waited until everyone there had finished taking photos before climbing! I'm glad that we were all satisfied with the photos.😄 I hope you can do the same! That's all! How about it? This is a great spot for camera lovers.📸 A hydrangea spot that looks great even on rainy days, so be sure to go! 〜〜〜〜〜〜Information〜〜〜〜〜📍Hasedera Temple Address: 731-1 Hatsuse, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture Access: 20 minutes walk from Hasedera Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line Reference: 1.5 hours from Kyoto, including walking Visiting hours: 9:00-16:00 Admission fee: 500 yen 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 #Kinki Tourism #Domestic Travel #Japan's Great Views #Nara Tourism

The cherry blossoms in Kyoto are nice, but there are also many beautiful cherry blossoms in Nara!! As expected, the cherry blossom spots in Nara are not crowded because of the poor access compared to Kyoto✨ That's why I want to avoid the crowds and go to the cherry blossoms in Nara😆 Today, I would like to introduce "Abe Monjuin Temple", one of the three great Manjusri temples in Japan. It is counted as one of the three great Manjusri temples in Japan, along with Kameoka Monju in Yamagata and Kirido Monju in Kyoto, and the main image is the place where you can find Manjusri Bodhisattva, which is famous for the saying "Three people together make Manjusri's wisdom", which you may have heard at least once! Of course, it's a wonderful temple, but it's even more beautiful during the cherry blossom season😍 The temple grounds are filled with 500 Somei-yoshino cherry trees, and the sight of the cherry blossoms continuing from the approach to the main hall, Monju Pond, and the observation deck is very beautiful😄 Abe Monjuin is said to be the birthplace of the Abe clan, and is also the birthplace of Abe no Nakamaro from the Nara period, who anyone who has studied Japanese history has heard of, and Abe no Seimei, a famous onmyoji from the Heian period🧐 The golden hall floating on the pond in the temple grounds, the "Nanaku Uki Mido", houses many treasures of onmyodo, making it a very valuable historical spot! It is also a powerful power spot that brings good luck in passing exams and finding a partner, so if you want to receive such benefits, please take this opportunity to visit! 〜〜〜〜〜Information〜〜〜〜〜 ・Address: 645 Abe, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture ・Access: 20 minutes on foot from Sakurai Station ・Visiting hours: 9:00-17:00 ・Visiting fee: Free inside the grounds, 500 yen for parking 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 #Sakura2024 #Japan's greatest views #Nara sightseeing

Visited in November 2022 Hasedera Temple in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture A famous temple also known as the Flower Temple In autumn, the trees in the temple grounds begin to turn red, and at the peak of the season, the entire mountain turns red. After passing through the Niomon Gate, there are 399 steps leading up to the top, and the view from the climbing corridor is unique to Hasedera 😊 When you arrive at the main hall, a national treasure, the stage is open on three sides, facing the clear autumn sky, giving you a sense of the beautiful autumn scenery ✨ *Hasedera Temple #Autumn leaves#Autumn leaf viewing

#gw2022jp I went to Hashihaka Tomb in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. The nearest station is Makimuku Station. Take the Manyo Mahoroba Line from JR Nara Station. In recent years, it has been said that this is the oldest keyhole-shaped tomb, and its shape can be seen from the outside. The best thing about this place is its divinity. The atmosphere is that of a god enshrined here, and you can't help but want to pray. When you're lost in life, when you want to pray for someone's happiness, or when you want to calm your mind, why not visit quietly?

Places I went to for my first shrine visit of the year

Ogami Shrine is a shrine located in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. It is one of the oldest shrines in Japan and is popular as a power spot. The approach to the shrine is lined with trees, and it feels good to stroll while bathing in negative ions. Address: 1422 Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture #Shrine

I liked our visit at Tanzan Jinjia. It is a very quiet place surrounded by nature and located on the side of a small hill. The ascent to the top is very peaceful and from there you will have a nice view. To get to the top the train in the forest is also a picturesque one. When we were there not many people were visiting which made it a better experience. Close to the entrance there is a parking spot if you are coming with a car but we used the one located next to the convenience store which was free and empty considering that there were not many people around. #japantrip

We drove to Hasedera Temple, and the road was mostly straight, so I thought it was a perfect spot for students! We arrived around 16:00, so most of the places to eat out (such as kusamochi) were closed, but!! The illuminated Hasedera Temple was especially charming! In 2024, the leaves took a long time to turn beautiful, so we were able to see the collaboration of chrysanthemums and autumn leaves! After about 5:30 p.m., there were no people around, and the view from Hasedera Temple was very majestic. (Last photo)

Tanzan Shrine in Nara is a scenic spot where the entire mountain is colored with vibrant autumn leaves in autumn. The vibrant red and yellow scenery that spreads around the temple grounds and surrounding area, centered around the 13-story pagoda, is as beautiful as a painting. The autumn leaves lit up by the morning and evening light are particularly mystical and captivating. The scenery woven by the historic buildings and autumn leaves is a special place filled with the charm of autumn in Japan. Why not take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery that can only be seen in this season? Tanzan Shrine, where autumn leaves and history come together in harmony, is a must-visit spot for your autumn trip! #domestictraveltrip #TanzanShrine #Nara #autumnleaves

Tanzan Shrine in Nara is a spectacular spot where cherry blossoms and history come together. In spring, the grounds and surrounding area are decorated with about 1,000 cherry trees, and the contrast with the 13-story pagoda is so beautiful that it's moving! The pink scenery of the shrine makes you feel as if you've wandered into a Japanese folk tale. The cherry blossoms look even more beautiful in the morning and evening when the soft light shines in, making them perfect for photos. Why not spend a soothing spring moment at this shrine nestled in the quiet mountains? The scenery woven together by cherry blossoms and history will surely be an unforgettable memory! #domestictraveltrip #nara #tanzanshrine #triptoenjoyspring #cherryblossoms

📍Hasedera Temple, Nara Springtime at Hasedera Temple, colored by cherry blossoms Springtime at Hasedera Temple is truly special! The cherry blossoms that bloom as if they are enveloping the temple grounds and the approach to the temple make you feel as if you are in a picture scroll. The view of the cherry blossoms as you climb the 399-step corridor is particularly spectacular! The scenery created by the pink petals and old buildings is sure to look great in photos! If you visit early in the morning, there will be few people and you can have the cherry blossoms all to yourself in a quiet atmosphere, so we recommend visiting in the morning. Why not take a trip to Hasedera Temple, where history and nature blend together? #domestictraveltrip #HasederaTemple #Nara #spring #cherryblossoms

#FuriTabiWinter This temple is the head temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, located in Hatsuse, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. During the Heian period, pilgrimages to Hasedera Temple were popular among aristocrats. Hasedera Temple appears in many classical works of literature, such as "The Tale of Genji" and "The Pillow Book." During the Edo period, it prospered as it attracted the reverence of the Tokugawa family and received their patronage. The main hall (national treasure) built in the style of a stage was rebuilt by Tokugawa Iemitsu. - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡ Highlights 📍The long "Noboryo" corridor leading to the main hall After passing through the Niomon gate, the Noboryo corridor continues on. It consists of three buildings, upper, middle and lower, and a round lantern called Hase-gata is hung from the ceiling. 📍Eleven-headed Kannon Bodhisattva Every spring and autumn, you can enter the main hall and touch its feet as a special viewing. It is one of the largest wooden structures in Japan. 📍Outer stage jutting out from the main hall Like Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, there is an outer stage jutting out from the main hall. The view from here is worth the effort of climbing the 399 steps of the Noboryo corridor. 📍Also known as the Flower Temple This is a temple where you can enjoy flowers all year round. #Temples and Shrines #Autumn Leaves #Nara #Nara Tourism #Nara Trip #Domestic Travel #Solo Travel #Girls Trip

Hasedera is the head temple of the Buzan sect of Shingon Buddhism, located in Hatsuse, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. The building called 'Gachirin-in,' located halfway up the stairs from the Niomon Gate, has been turned into a cafe. We took a break here during our visit. It was a beautiful spot with a view of the mountains and the temple grounds adorned with red and yellow maple leaves. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, we had a seasonal oden. It came with 'Kobo tea and persimmon leaf sushi (mackerel and salmon),' allowing us to savor Nara's specialties, which was very satisfying. - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - ⟡⋆˙ - Spot Information 📍 This is a seasonal cafe.

"Tanzan Shrine" This time we will introduce Tanzan in Nara. Tanzan Shrine, located in the mountains of Mt. Tanomine, which rises to the east of Asuka, shows its different faces in each season, with cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in early summer, and autumn leaves in autumn, and is so elegant that it is called the "Nikko of Kansai". ☺️🌸🌿🍁 In addition, the 13-story pagoda, which is the symbol of Tanzan Shrine and was built to mourn Fujiwara Kamatari, was rebuilt in the Muromachi period.
