Beyond the dragon-palace-like gate, you’ll be greeted by a massive ginkgo tree over 500 years old and hundreds of maple trees. The autumn foliage of these historic trees is breathtaking, making this a popular spot for enthusiasts from both within and outside the prefecture. A stroll through a carpet of fallen leaves, the beautiful satoyama scenery that changes with the seasons, is sure to purify your soul. We offer a variety of programs, including Zen experiences designed to help you rediscover your true Buddha-nature.
