What visitors say
The scenery surrounded by nature changing with the four seasons is beautiful, particularly popular during the autumn foliage and the fresh green maple leaves in May. Rare varieties of bamboo, such as four-sided bamboo and tortoise-shell bamboo, are planted along the approach path, and the Hōjō (abbot's quarters) garden is also a highlight. It is accessible on foot from Kami-ke Station, and following the waymarkers will lead you there without getting lost.
