Tofuku-ji Temple, the head temple of the Tofuku-ji School of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism, is also known for its beautiful scenery during the rainy season. From the Tsutenkyo Bridge over the ravine on the temple grounds, visitors can see the fresh green of green maples from May to June, and in summer, approximately 2,000 Iroha maples and maple trees can be enjoyed. The sight of the valley turning green is breathtaking. It is also wonderful to sit on the porch of the hojo and take a good look at the honbo garden, which has four gardens on the north, south, east, west, and south sides, created by the gardener Mirei Shigemori. There are several other areas to visit, so be sure to allow plenty of time for your visit.
