Every year in early April, you can admire the cherry blossoms in full bloom. There are as many autumn leaves as there are cherry blossoms, so the autumn leaves are beautiful in late autumn, and you can enjoy the scenery of each season.

Saigyo-hoshi, who is said to have entered the priesthood at this temple, is said to have used this stone instead of a mirror to shave his head when he entered the priesthood. Let's think about how Saigyo Hoshi faced this stone and how he became a monk.
