Review

Not only the Japanese garden, but also the scenery throughout the precincts is wonderful

井伊家の菩提寺であり、井伊家の勃興に深く関わりのある寺です。鉄道とバスを乗り継いでいくことも出来ますが、本数が少ないため、多くの参拝客は自家用車やレンタカーを利用します。本堂の北側に位置する庭園が素晴らしいですが、この庭園に限らず、境内の至る所が素晴らしいです。本堂に入るところから有料であるため、無料で本堂北側の庭園も愛でることは出来ませんが、無料で立ち入ることが出来るエリアも全てにおいて丁寧に...
My favorite temple!

This is a peaceful and beautifully groomed little oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of ciy life. The floor boards were designed to be a warning against attacks - they chirp like birds...
Temple with garden

The temple itself is old and is clearly a temple used by worshippers.At the back there is a beautiful garden. Worth a visit.
