[Temple Overview] Dacishan Yixun Temple is known as the "Peony Temple", and there will be about 30 kinds of peony in the country in late April every year, about 2,000 peony plants competing with each other. The blooming peony and white parasols are unique beautiful scenery here. [Temple from Xu] Yixun Temple is rumored to be founded by the Prince of Shengde, and is the oldest monastery in Nagaoka City. It is also the place where the two giants of Japanese Buddhism, the air sea and the most Chengshi, met for the first time and debated the secret religion. [Experience] If you recommend the place to enjoy the peony flowers in Kyoto, of course, the first choice is no other place at Yixun Temple. The peony flowers here are varied and well-careed. The layout and furnishings of gardening and the decoration of Japanese parasols are also unique. But due to the impact of the new crown epidemic this year, the number of tourists decreased, and the flowering period caused by the repeated instability of the temperature, so Yixun Temple decided to suspend this year's peony sacrifice, and did not do too much decoration and decoration, hoping to give peony flowers rest time for next year to prepare (Please check the official website for details), but I still recommend you to have time and conditions to come here to see and experience the generousness of peony flowers when they bloom.
