▶️It has been featured on social media and TV many times.

▶️As you climb the stairs one by one and the mountain gate comes into view, you will see a wind chime? A colorful Japanese umbrella decoration on the ceiling.

▶️There are so many wonderful paper cutout goshuin and limited edition goshuin here that it's hard to choose.

▶️After passing through the Sanmon gate, you will find a chozuya (water purification fountain) on your right.

The chozuya is also decorated with Japanese umbrellas and various flowers floating in it.

▶️Flower chozuyas are installed all over the place, which is soothing.

When it comes to flower chozuyas,

they are often offered by florists,

but the head priest himself purchases and arranges the flowers here.

Horinji's Instagram also provides updates on when the flower chozuya will be replaced.

It's hard enough to get a goshuin stamp, so I was surprised to learn that they also take care of the flowers!
