The former Chikurin-in Temple in Sakamoto, Otsu City, at the foot of Mt. Hiei, has been designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
At this time of year, the fresh green maples are in full bloom, and in the main house, which was once used as a residence, you can enjoy the reflection of the garden view on the surface of the desk in the room. On the 23rd, many people visited immediately after the park opened, slowly looking at the lush maples wet after the rain and taking pictures.
