Beautiful Frame Garden Like An Autumn Colored PictureEnko-ji Temple
Enko-ji Temple has become popular for its autumn colors. The beautiful green garden in summer becomes more beautiful with many colors in autumn. During the term of maple leaves falling, a red carpet will appear around the Jizo♡◎To take picture like a frame, you need to wait the timing people go away. But, the temple's attendant will tell you a good timing, so you can take picture like this!
Enko-ji Temple's Frame Garden As A Piece Of PictureEnko-ji Temple
Enko-ji Temple was a school for development of education by Ieyasu Tokugawa. A wonderful Japanese garden covered with moss, 'Jyu-gyu no niwa' is like a picture by the temple pillars on all sides. The rich nature gives us a moment of relief.
Temple Of Autumn Leaves On The Green Moss & Beautiful Bamboo GroveEnko-ji Temple
Enko-ji Temple is famous for the frame-garden (the garden looks like a picture thanks to the pillars and eaves ) of the main temple building. The wonderful autumn colors, green moss, and calm bamboo grove make us feel soothed. I felt happy with the smile of Ojizo statue and could have tranquil time here. ◎Shisen-do and Kompuku-ji Temple are able to access on foot from here. Both temples have beautiful autumn colors, so I recommend to visit together.
Everyone Smiles At A Smiling Child Jizo Of Enko-ji TempleEnko-ji Temple
Enko-ji Temple, famous for its frame garden, has very cute Warabe (child) Jizo. Everyone smiles naturally like it! A karesansui garden 'Honryu-tei' that expresses a rising dragon in a sea of clouds. And a hand-washing bowl 'Suikinkutsu' that makes clear sounds. There're many things to see in this temple.
Child Jizo Images At A Moss GardenEnko-ji Temple
Warabe Jizo (stone images of Jizo in child shape) standing at Jugyu Garden of Enko-ji Temple. Its mossy garden is excellent, and many people come to see also the autumn colored leaves. I want to see the collaboration of Jizo Stone and autumn colors.
Beautiful Green SceneryEnko-ji Temple
Enko-ji Temple has lovely Ojizo-san stone images in its garden, what's more, the beautiful garden of green maple trees is very nice place. Around the time of green leaves change into red, you must see this scenery by any means! I want to, too.
