    the highlight is the garden

    Original Text

    It began when Sadamoto Oe, the governor of Mikawa Province, opened Rokkoji Temple during the Kanwa era (985 ~ 987) in the Heian period. The highlight is the garden. If you turn right behind the main hall, you will find a corner surrounded by mountains, a magnificent landscape with standing stones and plants behind the pond. It's a wonderful garden.

    It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Oyu station.

    When I went to see the pine trees of Oyu, I visited the surrounding historic sites. This Saimyoji Temple took a little 10 minutes to walk from Oyu Station, but it was a pretty magnificent temple.

    Yuli なお Temple

    Original Text

    It is a temple on the outskirts of the mountain side of a residential area, about 10 minutes walk from Meitetsu Oyu Station. There is a large parking lot, a large and beautiful temple with huge trees such as mountain gates and white walls, camphor trees and cedars, and a small moss-covered garden in the back of the main hall on the left is very calm. It was a quiet temple that felt like it was in a deep mountain.

    international temple?

    Original Text

    Although it is Saimyoji Temple, it feels like passing through a residential area from the city of Oyu. The parking lot of the temple is large and safe. Next to the temple is a kindergarten. When I parked my car in the parking lot and passed through the mountain gate, there was the gate of Aoi Mitsuha. You have a connection to the Tokugawa family, and when you went to the main hall, the Sri Lankan flag was displayed. There was also a stone monument of Dr. Berz, a German doctor, which is exactly international!

    Kindergarten with のお Temple

    Original Text

    Saimyoji Temple is a temple with an attached kindergarten and can be reached by 15 on foot from Meitetsu Kokufu Station. There is a vast Japanese garden in the temple that will delight your eyes. As a hot spring usage leader, I sometimes visit because there is a memorial tower for German doctor Dr. Berz (hot spring medicine), who is related to Saimeiji Temple.
