    "Hondo-ji Temple is a famous temple of the Nichiren sect that has been nicknamed ""the hydrangea temple"" and ""the autumn leaf temple."" In early summer, over 10,000 hydrangea plants and 5,000 irises adorn the temple grounds with their blossoms, and in autumn, about 1,000 maple trees turn a brilliant red and yellow."

    We loved the Sakura and the peaceful atmosphere. Don’t miss the gold top of one building. It is pretty stroller friendly too.

    Chiba Pref. Matsudoshi Matsudo 1457
    "Founded in 1626, Matsudo Jinja Shrine is a historical religious site, revered by Mito Mitsukuni (known as Mito Komon), the lord of Mito as the grand guardian gods of Matsudo. Its festival is on October 18, but a special celebration called ""Matsudo Jinja Shinkosai"" is celebrated only when October 18 falls on a Sunday. This observance is unique in Japan in that wooden images representing the gods of the four directions (Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise) join the festival procession. This festival was suspended after the 1941 observance, but in 1988, the rediscovery of the wooden images in the back of the storehouse prompted its revival."

The concept behind it is ""Seeing, Touching, and Feeling with Your Whole Body,"" and it contains exhibits portraying the history of Matsudo, dating back to Paleolithic times.
