[Kyoto] Flower Temple "Mimurotoji Temple"

This time, I'd like to introduce Mimurotoji Temple, also known as the Hydrangea Temple, located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

Mimurotoji Temple is known as the "Temple of Flowers," and is home to rhododendrons and rhododendrons in the spring, and lotus flowers in the summer.
It is particularly famous for its hydrangeas during the rainy season, and as I happened to be traveling to Kyoto during the rainy season, I decided to visit.
Mimurotoji Temple is about a 15-minute walk from Mimurotoji Station on the Keihan Uji Line.
It is located at the foot of a mountain, and the temple itself has many slopes, so it's best to be prepared to walk a bit.
The temple grounds are filled with stone statues that are said to bring various blessings, and they give off a unique atmosphere.
When I went, there were hydrangeas floating in the water basin, which looked very vibrant.

With the atmosphere of the temple and the many hydrangeas, this temple has a lot to see.
It's a little far from the center of Kyoto tourism, but I'm glad I went♪
