Upon arrival, taking a casual stroll around the temple grounds to enjoy the vibrant seasonal foliage is highly recommended. In particular, the approach path leading toward the statue of Amida Nyorai reflects the beauty of each season; during the autumn foliage period, both sides of the path are dyed in brilliant golden hues, bustling with tourists.
