A serene garden with four seasons
The gardens at Tsukishoji Temple are stunning spaces with different expressions depending on the season.
The time spent viewing the garden from Shoin in the historic scenery
brings a peaceful moment to visitors.
The elegant landscape is dotted with gardens associated with Fumai Kuni and
stone structures that tell of a long history,
making new discoveries every time you visit.

The garden viewed from Shoin is said to have been repaired by Fumai, and has a simple atmosphere that is popular with tea masters.
A quiet bamboo forest spreads deep into the garden, and in spring, the chirping of a nightingale echoes.
In addition, birds such as Iso, blue herons, cranes, and 33-year-olds visit every season, giving you a sense of the richness of nature.



Lotus Pond
The pond is said to have come to drink water by the 5 turtle, the sixth feudal lord.
The quietly standing surface of the water is reflected in different expressions with each season, soothing visitors.


Hydrangea
Many hydrangeas are planted at Tsukisho-ji Temple, and the sight of them blooming around the mausoleum of the first feudal lord, Matsudaira Naomasa, is particularly impressive.
Among them, the calyx hydrangeas have a lovely beauty, and while they are modest in glamour, they have a delicate charm when you get closer and look closely.
With the rainy season approaching, it begins to bloom all at once in early June, and is a Sanin tradition that soothes the hearts of those who see it for about a month.


Lantern
The lanterns scattered throughout the temple grounds have been handed down along with the history of Tsukishoji Temple.
At the Mantoukai, which will be held on August 15th, candlelights will be lit, creating a fantastic atmosphere.









Handbag, trembling
Stepping stones are placed next to the front of the grave tower, with handbags and tumble tucks.
Tree splatters and splashes are planted around the area, making it a design that gives off the atmosphere of a tea garden dew road.
