What visitors say
As a tower temple of Kenchoji, it features a garden reminiscent of Tenryuji, offering beautiful views of moss and autumn foliage. During special viewing periods, visitors can enjoy the garden from a quiet tatami room. While it is a popular spot for autumn leaves, note that viewing may be cancelled depending on the specific period or weather conditions.
