💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during early morning on weekdays in June to avoid the hydrangea season crowds, as weekends can be extremely busy. The temple is cash-only for the entrance fee (around 500 yen), so prepare coins in advance. Note that photography inside the main hall is prohibited, but the famous round window and gardens are free to photograph.
