The path to the temple gate
With autumn leaves lining both sides, the view is breathtaking.
A very quiet and well-maintained garden.
Going further into the hall...it's no exaggeration to call it Chikusei City's Little Kyoto.
The moss and bright red leaves were truly beautiful. ♥
Going further in, many people were taking photos with their cameras.
The temple grounds are calming and unobtrusive.
The garden incorporates Buddhist ideas...
The temple particularly values the teachings of the Thirteen Buddhas.
The green maples and moss are stunning in May,
and the hydrangeas bloom in June.
It's a wonderful temple worth visiting in every season.
